Kadokawa Shoten

In October 2013, Kadokawa Shoten merged its subsidiary companies into one single legal entity. Today, KADOKAWA is the official publisher for all releases—including modern web novel adaptations from platforms like Kakuyomu and Shōsetsuka ni Narō.

When to use Kadokawa Shoten:

- Use Kadokawa Shoten as the publisher only if the book or series was originally published before October 1, 2013, when it was still an independent company. Series continuing past this date will keep Kadokawa Shoten as publisher. - Use Kadokawa Shoten as the publisher if the book is specifically published under one of the original Kadokawa Shoten editorial division's labels.
