Activist investor Oasis Management Company, a Hong Kong-based hedge fund, acquired an 8.86% stake in Kadokawa, the Japanese media conglomerate and parent company of FromSoftware, developer of *Elden Ring* and *Dark Souls*. This acquisition, reported on March 20, 2026, could enable Oasis to influence Kadokawa’s operations and important proposals; the fund is noted for previously suggesting Nintendo charge 99 cents for Mario to jump higher.
