CTW Cayman’s subsidiary, CTW Inc., launched the Doraemon Comic Traveler, a full‑scale online role‑playing game based on the iconic Doraemon manga franchise, on its G123.jp platform on December 15, 2025. The title is instantly playable on mobile, PC, and tablet devices without the need for an app download or account registration, allowing fans to jump straight into the action.
The game brings together the five core Doraemon characters—Doraemon, Nobita, Shizuka, Gian, and Suneo—who use a variety of secret gadgets to clear stages and battle Comic Aliens that transform into characters from the Doraemon Long Tales series. The browser‑based format leverages CTW’s HTML5 technology to deliver a smooth, high‑quality experience across all devices, a key selling point for the company’s global user base.
CTW Cayman’s FY2025 results showed a 32% year‑over‑year revenue increase to $90.4 million, driven in part by the launch of seven new titles that generated $32.3 million in revenue. The Doraemon IP is expected to accelerate user acquisition and in‑game purchase activity, reinforcing the company’s strategy of securing premier anime franchises to expand its reach and monetize its platform. The launch follows the company’s August 2025 IPO, which raised $12 million, and comes at a time when CTW is investing heavily in AI and creative infrastructure to support future growth.
In the competitive browser‑based anime gaming niche, CTW has long been the largest H5 platform globally, but it faces rivals such as Niconico and Gacha games that also leverage popular IPs. The Doraemon launch differentiates CTW by tapping a franchise with cross‑generational appeal and a strong international fan base, positioning the company to capture a broader demographic and increase its share of the free‑to‑play market. The move also signals CTW’s intent to deepen its portfolio of high‑profile titles, a strategy that has historically driven the majority of its revenue growth.
CEO Ryuichi Sasaki said the launch “is our most significant game release to date and is built on the strongest and most internationally recognized IP we have licensed so far.” He added that the Doraemon franchise’s global popularity “demonstrates our ability to secure premier partnerships and underscores our commitment to leveraging world‑class IP to drive growth.”
The launch comes amid CTW’s broader focus on scaling its platform and monetization capabilities. While the company reported an operating loss of $1.1 million in FY2025 due to strategic investments, the Doraemon title is positioned to offset that loss by driving higher in‑game revenue and expanding the user base, aligning with the company’s long‑term growth objectives.
