What is .アマゾン?
Brand TLDs operate under Specification 13 of ICANN's registry agreement. It lets a trademark owner keep every second-level name for itself, so you won't find .アマゾン names for sale at any registrar.
ICANN's records put the delegation of .アマゾン on June 2, 2020. Like most of the newer endings, it was applied for in the 2012 New gTLD Program round and its registry agreement was signed on December 19, 2019.
In the DNS, .アマゾン is stored as the ASCII string xn--cckwcxetd (its "A-label"). Browsers and apps that support IDNs show the native script instead.
