Korasho is one of Japan's most iconic mascots. Generations have grown up with it—featured in textbooks, plastered across merchandise, watched by millions. It's a cultural institution.

Yet here's the thing: despite being one of the most recognizable characters in Japan, Korasho hasn't been tokenized yet. No NFTs, no blockchain presence, nothing.

Which raises an interesting question—why do so many legacy cultural assets still sit outside the crypto and Web3 space? IP like this has massive fan bases and decades of trust. The infrastructure exists. The audience is there. So what's holding back the integration?

This is outrageous. IP assets like Korasho haven't been tokenized yet? Just analyzing the arbitrage opportunities in on-chain transaction paths... Never mind, I give up. It's such a pity.

NGL, the issue of traditional IP going on the blockchain is fundamentally a money matter... Copyright holders are all watching and waiting.

Damn, not putting classic IP on the blockchain is really a waste, how much potential does this have...

Nah, to be honest, I think this is the normal way... Not everything needs to be on the blockchain. Some cultural assets should just stay offline properly.

To be honest, these established IPs are indeed a bit slow to enter the blockchain... What are the copyright owners afraid of?
