Sesame Street has selected Sony to handle their licensing in Japan. 

Below is the official press release:

Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind Sesame Street, named Sony Creative Products Inc. (SCP) as the licensing agent for the property in Japan.

The show has reached over 150 countries, generating $1.4 billion in international retail sales of licensed products.

Following its U.S. debut in 1969, Sesame Street first aired in Japan in 1971. 2021 marks the 50th anniversary since of its Japanese premiere.
