XOKURA covers Japanese game and anime news for English-speaking fans. We work directly from primary sources — official announcements, press releases, and publisher websites in Japan — and publish in English, fast. We do not translate or rewrite other outlets' reporting.
Every fact, linked to its source
Our promise is structural, not aspirational: every article on XOKURA is built from a verified fact sheet in which each individual fact — every date, price, platform, and quote — is tied to the primary source it came from. Those sources are listed at the bottom of every article. If we can't trace a claim to an official source, we don't publish it. We do not cover leaks or rumors.
How our newsroom works
XOKURA uses AI throughout its production pipeline, and we believe you should know exactly how:
- Collection — we monitor official Japanese sources (publisher sites, press releases) around the clock.
- Verification — facts are extracted from the original Japanese announcements into a structured fact sheet, each with a link to its source.
- Writing — articles are drafted by AI from that fact sheet only, following our editorial guidelines.
- Fact-checking — an independent automated review checks every claim in the draft against the fact sheet and our style and legal standards.
- Human editing — a human editor reviews and approves every article before it is published.
When we get something wrong, we say so — openly and in the article itself. See our Corrections Policy.
