Pokecazilla, a trading card price comparison service operated by KABUKI Inc., has entered a platinum sponsorship agreement with professional TCG team EMBERZ, effective until the end of December 2026. Through logo placements on team uniforms and other initiatives, the partnership aims to support both the competitive TCG scene and an environment where players can access cards at fair prices.
KABUKI Inc. (Headquarters: Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture; CEO: Sota Katakawa) operates the trading card price comparison service "Pokecazilla" (https://pokecazilla.com/). The company has now concluded a platinum sponsorship agreement with EMBERZ, a professional trading card game team operated by centerwave Inc. (Headquarters: Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture; CEO: Kosei Saito).
The sponsorship agreement runs until the end of December 2026. KABUKI will support the development of the competitive scene through various brand exposures, including logo placements on EMBERZ team uniforms.
Why a Price Comparison Service is Supporting a Pro Team
Pokecazilla's mission is to "deliver cards at fair prices to players who love trading cards." The service supports Japan's five major TCGs—Pokémon TCG, Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG, ONE PIECE Card Game, Magic: The Gathering, and Duel Masters—and enables cross-platform comparison of pricing data for over 250,000 individual cards.
Comprehensive Coverage of Japan's Top 5 TCG Titles
Backed by strong user support, the service has experienced rapid growth.
Detailed card information is available for thorough checking.
Features such as rarity and format filtering are highly valued by existing users.
Every day, we engage with players' fundamental desire: "Where can I find the card I want, and at what price?" In a market often marked by price inflation and scalping, we believe that faithfully addressing players' needs is essential for the healthy development of the TCG market.
Among those most affected by these issues are the serious players who passionately enjoy TCGs and dedicate themselves to competition. Deck-building, reading the meta, and hunting for that one essential card—the energy of the competitive scene is a driving force behind card circulation.
When competition thrives, player numbers grow. When player numbers grow, cards circulate more healthily. That is precisely why we have decided to support EMBERZ, a professional team competing at the forefront of the competitive scene.
About EMBERZ
EMBERZ is a professional TCG team operating under the powerful slogan "Fueling Passion." Beyond pursuing victory in tournaments, EMBERZ aims to convey the depth and appeal of card gaming through gameplay and content creation, expanding its cultural value to society.
KABUKI and centerwave, operator of EMBERZ, have previously collaborated on initiatives such as "Toreka Camp." The shared value of prioritizing players was the foundation for this platinum sponsorship agreement.
Comment from Sota Katakawa, CEO of KABUKI Inc.
We are delighted to become an official sponsor of EMBERZ.
Pokecazilla was born from our desire to deliver cards at fair prices to trading card enthusiasts. Most of KABUKI's team members, including myself as CEO, are card gamers. Maintaining a player-first perspective—rather than a scalper's view—is a non-negotiable principle for Pokecazilla.
We deeply resonate with EMBERZ's mission to "create a world where people can live through card games." A vibrant competitive scene brings more people into contact with the charm of card games, energizing both players and card shops.
Through this partnership, we will continue contributing to the development of card gaming culture from both competitive and distribution perspectives.
Future Outlook
KABUKI will continue using Pokecazilla to create an environment where players can easily find the cards they want at fair prices. Starting with support for the competitive scene, we aim to contribute to a healthy TCG market that benefits players, card shops, and manufacturers alike.
