Listen "Anime News: Demon Slayer Creator Has Earned Massive Amounts in Royalties!!"
Episode Synopsis
A new Japanese report has estimated the earnings of Demon Slayer creator Koyoharu Gotouge, whose royalty income has reportedly reached astronomical figures.With the Demon Slayer manga surpassing 220 million copies in circulation, Gotouge's earnings from royalties are likely immense. At Kadokawa's "World Worldless Manga Contest" panel last year, it was revealed that the royalty income for most manga artists is 10%. Based on this rate, a recent report by Real Sound estimates Gotogue's income from physical comic sales alone to be approximately 10 billion yen (about US$64 million), with digital sales adding even more to that total. This figure also does not even include the ever-expanding economic sphere of the Demon Slayer franchise, which encompasses games, stage plays and merchandise, such as a recent collaboration with convenience store chain FamilyMart that sold 2.4 million items.Support The Podcast!https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/roose366/subscribeFollow For More Content &Streams!Science Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/5nFXe9dPeWrMpyObyAlrnF?si=7358d1cf32cb45b7Youtube Gaming: https://www.youtube.com/@RooseJp/videosTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@podcastonanime
