Kayou, KB and Card Fun: licensed Asian trading cards

This category includes collectible cards from specialized Asian publishers like Kayou, KB, and Card Fun, officially licensed from anime, manga, and pop-culture series. It encompasses two markets: Chinese (CH) editions, the original language, and English (EN) versions distributed in Europe. Depending on the product, people buy them to open and hunt for rarities, to complete a collection, or to resell sealed cards.

Kayou, the heavyweight of the segment

Kayou (卡游) is the leading Chinese publisher of licensed trading cards, with a catalog that covers both anime and pop culture. Their catalog includes series such as Naruto (Heaven Scroll and Earth Scroll), Evangelion, Frieren, Hatsune Miku (Kayou 110 series), The Powerpuff Girls, How to Train Your Dragon, as well as more mainstream lines like My Little Pony, Tokidoki, and K-Pop Demon Hunters. Kayou cards use a tiered rarity system (SSR, UR, SP, and above, depending on the series) and special finishes, which makes opening a box worthwhile: the value is concentrated on a few cards per series.

Card Fun, the Western licensed card
Card Fun has positioned itself in the Western licensing market. In this category, the brand is represented by its Star Wars: Power the Force series in Chinese edition, a collection of art cards to open and collect.

KB, anime and shonen in Chinese edition
KB publishes Chinese versions of cards based on major shonen and pop culture licenses: One Piece (single booster packs and boxes of 30), Dragon Ball Z (box of 30), and Mofusand. The concept is the same as Kayou's: sealed packs that must be opened to find rare cards from each series.

Chinese (CH) edition or English (EN) edition: which one to choose

The Chinese (CH) version is the original edition: it was released first, the text is in Chinese, and the price is often more affordable. The English (EN) version targets the European market, with English text and an official distribution channel. For a collector, the choice comes down to language, availability, and price; for resale, the original edition and sealed condition generally carry more weight.

Which format to choose
A single booster pack is perfect for testing a series or completing a collection without a large budget. The mini box (12 to 16 boosters) is a convenient intermediate size. The box (10 to 30 boosters depending on the series) is the standard size for opening a large quantity and maximizing your chances of finding rare boosters.
