Should we be worried? Will this company get its hands in the creative areas to increase its profits?

Isn't this the same concern that came up when Sony became the largest shareholder? To my knowledge, nothing happened. It's not as if being the largest shareholder means you can just do whatever you want. That’s not how it works.

This is the same investment firm that back in 2014, infamously sent a letter to Nintendo, urging them to invest in free-to-play mobile games and which contains the likes of "Just think of paying 99 cents just to get Mario to jump a little higher".

Sony is a strategic shareholder, not an activist. Oasis wants the company to be more profitable since they think they are undervalued. Sony wants to collaborate with them to create more IP.

Also, this is the same hedge fund that forced DIC to close its art museum last year, the museum was founded by DIC founder Kawamura in 1990.

Yep, this is what worries me, other greedy investors/shareholders milk companies' profits, this fellas not only do that but interfiere with how a company works, I believe something like that OMC made in Nintendo.

I'm going to assume Nintendo disappeared whoever asked that because that is titanically stupid.
As for Kadokawa, it's the same thing as always: hedge fund types look for whatever to leech off of because they're a bunch of soulless vampires. Whatever
