That started as Creator Backlash: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=Creator.ToeiAnimation&more=t#edit19827871

EDIT: And for more context on the Digimon Tamers stuff: ExecutiveMeddling.Anime And Manga:

  • Ryo Akiyama being included in Digimon Tamers was the result of this, as Bandai insisted he be added to the story against Chiaki Konaka's wishes. Konaka retaliated by intentionally minimizing the role Bandai wanted Ryo to play in the story. Konaka also originally wrote Juri's father as a Yakuza member, but Toei refused.

The editor who put the original entry in also put in this, which I feel is too opinionated on top of being badly indented:

  • No Export for You: In recent years, Toei Animation has been quite reluctant to license its work for foreign translation or re-release, with Sailor Moon having being hit particularly hard by this for quite a while. Given that the majority of their shows tend to be subjected to heavy amounts of editing and occasional censorship in foreign dubs (such as the above-mentioned 4Kids dub of One Piece), you can't really blame them.
    • A similar situation occurred with the Transformers: Scramble City OVA. With companies either having to find ways to circumvent it (Sony using a commentary track for their release, while Madman Entertainment just used a low quality version to bypass the licensing process) or being flat out denied the chance to use it in the case of Shout! Factory. It's also the reason why Transformers Zone has never been officially released in the US.

Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.

If it’s false, you can probably just remove it.

I would but Toei does meddle a lot so I will have to rephrase the executive meddling entry to reflect that while removing the wrong info.

I removed what was written. If you wish to add something different, go ahead.
