4Kids Files for Bankruptcy

Yahoo! Finance reports that 4Kids Entertainment has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy status. 4Kids confirmed last week that bankruptcy was an option for the company after Japanese companies TV Tokyo and Nihon Ad Systems retracted 4Kids’ distribution license for the Yu-Gi-Oh anime franchise and filed a lawsuit against 4Kids charging unpaid debts. Chapter 11 bankruptcy will allow 4Kids to continue business operations. The company has been steadily losing money and was delisted from the New York Stock Exchange last year.
