Leadership Overhaul at Creatures Inc., Co-Owner of The Pokemon Company.

Creatures Inc., one of the partial owners of the Pokémon franchise, has undergone a significant change in leadership, with Tsunekazu Ishihara and Hirokazu "Hip" Tanaka stepping down as CEO and President respectively. Yuji Kitano and Tomotaka Komura have taken over as CEO/President and Executive Vice President. While this change is unlikely to impact the day-to-day operations of Creatures Inc. or its contribution to the Pokémon franchise, it raises questions about Ishihara's future with The Pokémon Company.
