Production in Asia

Made in Tokyo

Our headquarters sits on the 39th floor of Shibuya Scramble Square. From here we produce Japanese and pan-Asian content for international audiences, and we bring international productions to Japan.

Why Asia, why now

Asia is the fastest-growing content market in the world. Streamers are commissioning across the region, and audiences everywhere are watching Japanese and Asian stories in record numbers.

Japan offers world-class infrastructure, extraordinary locations and a favorable exchange rate for international productions. What most productions lack is a partner who works fluently in both Japanese and Western production practice. That is our work.
