K.K. Kōdansha (Japanese: 株式会社 講談社 Kabushiki-gaisha Kōdansha, English: Kodansha Ltd.) is a large Japanese literature and manga publisher with its headquarters in Bunkyo, Tokyo. Kōdansha publishes both manga magazines and more literary magazines such as Gunzō, Gendai, and Shūkan Gendai, as well as the Japanese dictionary Nihongo Daijiten. The publisher annually recognizes outstanding publications in this area with the Kodansha Manga Award.
The company was founded in November 1909 by Noma Seiji under the name “Dai-Nippon Yūben-kai” (大日本雄弁会) and began publishing, starting in 1910, almost exclusively magazines with “Yūben” (雄弁) — “eloquence.” A second publisher, Kōdansha, was founded by Noma in 1911 for the magazine “Kōdan kurabu,” which was intended for a broad readership, while Yūben was more sophisticated.[3] In 1923 the publisher achieved its first bestseller with Taisho daishinsai Daikasei, a book about the Great Kantō Earthquake that had just occurred. In 1925 the two publishers were merged. By 1926, the company already published nine magazines, among which “Shōnen kurabu” (少年クラブ), a magazine for youth, and “Kingu” were the most successful.[3]
After World War II there was strong criticism that the company had explicitly supported the war. Noma Shōichi, the head of the company, had to resign at the order of the occupying powers. In 1949 he was able to resume his work, and he managed to bring the ailing company back to a path of success. In 1963 the company Kōdansha International was founded for publications in English.[3]
The publisher’s titles are increasingly released in digital form as well. By 2015, 90 percent of new titles were also available in electronic formats. In the same year, the publisher held about a 12 percent share of the Japanese print market.[1]
