Fly In My Soup Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Late in march (26th) 2021, the SuragaYa group online direct toy/hobby store bought out all shares in kyosho. Kyosho stated 'we hope to combine surugaya' s capital / selling power with kyosho's technical abilities to enable full scale overseas expansion' This comes after kyosho was rescued in 2018 from insolvency by another Japanese investment company on the nikkei. Hopefully this leads to a brighter future for kyosho..

Kyosho has been having financial difficulties for a long time, hopefully this takeover will be the start of a new future for them. The old Mini-Z line has pretty much propped yup the RC side of the business since 2002. The scale model planes and boats have done very well though.
