Bandai Co., Ltd. (株式会社バンダイ Kabushiki-gaisha Bandai?) is a Japanese toy making and video game company, as well as the producer of a large number of plastic model kits. It is the world's third-largest producer of toys (after Mattel and Hasbro). Some ex-Bandai group companies produce anime and tokusatsu programs. Its headquarters is located in Taitō, Tokyo.

Bandai America was responsible for the primary releases of Power Rangers toys. The releases came a year or more after the original Super Sentai toys are released, in conjunction with the TV show airing. It did not limit itself to the US but distributed wherever Power Rangers aired.

On February 15, 2018, it was announced that Power Rangers, Saban Brands, and Bandai USA had mutually agreed not to renew their global Power Rangers master toy license agreement, effective April 2019.[1] The following morning at the New York Toy Fair, representatives at Hasbro announced that it would take Bandai's place as the distributor and manufacturer of Power Rangers toys worldwide, with the exception of Japan and parts of Asia where Super Sentai toys are sold. On April 1, 2019, Hasbro officially took over the master toy license.
