'''4Licensing Corporation''', formerly known as "4Kids Entertainment", was an American company which was responsible for the production of the English-language version of the [[Pokémon anime]] from 1998 until 2005 (effectively seasons 1 through 8). They were also in charge of English productions for a number of other anime series, as well as creating original series from 1997 to 2013. Among anime fans, the company is notorious for its heavy editing of Japanese versions of series such as ''{{wp|One Piece}}'' and ''{{wp|Yu-Gi-Oh}}''. However, Pokémon is actually among its most faithful adaptations. The company also handled licensing for many other Nintendo products and properties, including ''{{fzw|F-Zero: GP Legend (anime)|F-Zero}}'' and ''{{wk|Kirby: Right Back at Ya!|Kirby}}'', until 4Kids let the licensing agreement expire in 2005.
