eigoMANGA Confirms Full IP Rights to Vanguard Princess Across the U.S. and Japan

San Jose, CA — eigoMANGA, a California-based media company, is proud to officially confirm that it holds the exclusive trademark and copyright rights to the video game Vanguard Princess in the United States and recognized ownership rights in Japan, solidifying its role as the sole rights holder and licensor of the franchise across multiple media platforms.

Originally created by Japanese game developer Tomoaki Sugeno, Vanguard Princess is a 2D fighting game that features an all-female cast, each with their own unique fighting style, tactical assist system, and vibrant anime-inspired visuals. Since its U.S. introduction, the game has cultivated a dedicated international fanbase and gained popularity for its hand-drawn sprite animation and classic arcade-style gameplay.

eigoMANGA has officially registered the Vanguard Princess trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) under Registration Number 7,791,666, covering computer and mobile game software. The company also holds U.S. copyright registration TXu002461296, which affirms its rights over the game's core artwork and media assets.

The company’s ownership is further recognized in Japan through registrations and rulings by the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs, establishing eigoMANGA as the legitimate copyright holder.

Since 2012, eigoMANGA has:

  • Produced and published Vanguard Princess video games on PC and mobile platforms.
  • Released official comic book adaptations, expanding the lore and characters of the series.
  • Published soundtracks and music albums based on the game’s compositions.
  • Produced animation and promotional media, introducing new audiences to the world of Vanguard Princess.


eigoMANGA also reminds businesses and developers that any unauthorized use, modification, or distribution of Vanguard Princess outside Japan—especially in the United States—violates its intellectual property rights and may lead to enforcement actions.

For business inquiries, licensing opportunities, or clarification regarding rights, parties are encouraged to contact eigoMANGA directly.
