who owns castlevania

The Castlevania video game franchise is owned by Konami , the Japanese game company that created and still controls the IP rights to the series.

A couple of quick clarifications that people often mix up:

• The games, characters, logo, and overall Castlevania intellectual property belong to Konami as the rights holder.

• Other companies or platforms (like Netflix) may license Castlevania for adaptations (such as the animated series), but that does not transfer ownership of the franchise itself.

So if you’re asking “who owns Castlevania?” in 2026, the answer is: Konami is still the owner of the Castlevania IP.
