Pokémon USA, Inc. was the American subsidiary of The Pokémon Company, founded in 2001 to handle licensing of the Pokémon franchise in North America. 4Kids Entertainment held a 3% stake in the unit, which was liquidated in March 2006. In 2009, Pokémon USA merged with Pokémon UK (TPC's European subsidiary) to form a single international unit.
