Greetings from Bushiroad!
In 2007, a new entertainment company was born in Nakano-ku (Tokyo), a district which is fast becoming a new center for entertainment sub-culture in the footsteps of the Akihabara district of Tokyo.
Bushiroad Inc. plans, develops, and sells many kinds of collectable card games. Currently, we have progressed smoothly and in just our first few years of business, we have had sales of 300 million yen. We are projecting nearly 5 times that level in the current year!
Why is our collectable card game in such high demand? Two reasons: one is that those who used to play “Pokemon” and/or “Yu-Gi-Oh” cards (both mega-hits that were well known among kids living in Japan) have now grown up but still wish to play card games. The other reason is that it is not novel anymore to have a collectable card games as part of a new animation/video game content release, so there are always new users entering the scene. Therefore, the card game user population in Japan is on the increase.
So what do we do? By collaborating with some content owners in Japan, we provide card games such as:
- Weiβ Schwarz
- Sunday V.S. Magazine,
and the follow-up game - Victory Spark
- ChaosTCG
- AlicexCross
And our latest venture into a new card game for kids,
- Cardfight!! Vanguard!
In Japan, new manga, animation, video/online game, and figure content is being created all the time. The popularity of this content is spreading internationally, spawning new trends such as “cosplay (costume play)”.
We provide new value by fusing trading cards with well-known content. Bushiroad’s office is in Tokyo and currently serves Japanese clients, but we are eager to share our fantastic cards all over the world. If you are interested in gaining the rights to our content in your country, please feel free to contact us.

If you provide for VS, Chaos and AlicexCross, why do only WS and Vanguard have banners on this Website?

Well,from what I see, this website caters more to the International crowd (where English is a common language). those are the only 2 games so far to ever have an English release so that should be a main reason why I guess.
If you're gonna comment of why Milky Holmes is there, same reason. They have been making overseas appearances( e.g. Singapore, Hong Kong etc etc), so they are also considered an icon known to people who frequent the site.
I suppose it's because of the sheer imbalance in terms of sales and output that these two series enjoy. Compared to these two, Chaos is barely a niche market, and VS and AliceXCross are doing much much worse.
There's also the issue of target markets. Vanguard boasts original content, so it's easily marketable anywhere. Out of the other series that use collaboration content, WS has the biggest names and is most likely to recognized by the international community. Many titles for the other series are less well known outside of Japan.
Hopefully we'll get something done about Chaos soon though, but the road is still a long one.

Chaos have been releasing a few new series recently, hope it will be a good start for it. Currently i am working with my friend to promote this but yeah, it won't be easy and require some time.
