Itochu Stock Remains Unchanged Following Time Warner Deal Announcement
Date: 1/31/2005
Monday saw relatively little change on the price of shares for Itochu Corporation on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. This was the first day of public trading following this weekend's news that it will establish a proposed 3 billion Yen contents fund with Time Warner to jointly produce animation works inside Japan for domestic and international broadcast. Itochu in the past had established a joint venture company for the commercialization of the works of the late Shotaro Ishinomori (Mask Rider) last year.
