The Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA) (Japanese: コンテンツ海外流通促進機構, Hepburn: Kontentsu Kaigai Ryūtsū Sokushin Kikō) is a Japanese trade association based in Tokyo.[1] It was established in 2002 for international distribution of Japanese content (frequently anime and manga) and taking countermeasures against piracy.
In 2013, CODA merged with Anti-Counterfeiting Association (ACA), in order to strengthen their capability for copyright protection and offer comprehensive measures against copyright infringement in Japan as well as overseas.[2]
