Toei Animation Co., Ltd. (Japanese: 東映アニメーション株式会社, Hepburn: Tōei Animēshon Kabushiki-gaisha; /ˈtoʊ.eɪ/) is a Japanese animation studio primarily controlled by its namesake Toei Company. It was originally founded on January 23, 1948 as Japan Animated Films by Kenzō Masaoka and Sanae Yamamoto.

The studio is known for producing numerous series, including the Sally the Witch series, the GeGeGe no Kitarō series, Mazinger Z, Galaxy Express 999, the Cutie Honey series, the Dr. Slump series, the Dragon Ball series, the Saint Seiya series, the Sailor Moon series, Slam Dunk, the Digimon series, the One Piece series, Magical Doremi, Toriko, World Trigger and the Pretty Cure series among others. Aside from animation production, the company handles character licensing and overseas distribution and sales of its titles through its wholly-owned international subsidiaries.

Toei Animation is headquartered in Nakano, Tokyo with its studios in Higashiōizumi, Nerima, Tokyo which also houses the Toei Animation Museum [ja].[1] Toei also has a overseas studio in the Philippines known as Toei Animation Phils.

Pero, the protagonist of the studio's 1969 film adaptation of Puss in Boots serves as its mascot.

History

Former studio building in Nerima, Tokyo after the 1964 expansion. The building was demolished in 2014 to make room for a larger studio building in the same location (pictured below) with the Toei Animation Gallery being rebranded to the Toei Animation Museum in the process.

Early history

The studio was founded by animators Kenzō Masaoka and Sanae Yamamoto in 1948 as Japan Animated Films (日本動画映画, Nihon Dōga Eiga) often shortened to Nichidō Eiga (日動映画). In 1956, Toei purchased the studio and it was renamed Toei Animation Co., Ltd. (東映動画株式会社, Tōei Dōga Kabushiki-gaisha; "dōga" is Japanese for "video", and in some extent "animation"). In 1998, the Japanese name was renamed to match with the English name. It has created a number of TV series and movies and adapted Japanese comics as animated series, many popular worldwide. Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, Yasuji Mori, Leiji Matsumoto and Yōichi Kotabe have worked with the company.[5] Toei was a shareholder in the Japanese anime satellite television network Animax with other anime studios and production companies, such as Sunrise, TMS Entertainment and Nihon Ad Systems Inc.[6][7][8]

Although the Toei Company usually contracts Toei Animation to handle its animation internally for some of their works, they occasionally hire other companies to provide animation; although the Toei Company produced the Robot Romance Trilogy, Sunrise (then known as Nippon Sunrise) provided the animation. Toei Company would also enlist the help of other studios such as hiring Academy Productions to produce the animation for Space Emperor God Sigma, rather than use their own studio. Since 1962, Toei Animation uses its own production offices rather than using Toei's television division.

Toei Animation's anime which have won the Animage Anime Grand Prix award are Galaxy Express 999 in 1981, Saint Seiya in 1987 and Sailor Moon in 1992. In addition to producing anime for release in Japan, Toei Animation began providing animation for American films and television series during the 1960s and particularly during the 1980s.

Later history and ransomware attack

In October 2021, Toei Animation announced that they had signed a strategic partnership with the South Korean entertainment conglomerate CJ ENM.[9]

On March 6, 2022, an incident occurred in which an unauthorized third party attempted to hack Toei Animation's network, which resulted in the company's online store and internal systems becoming temporarily suspended. The company investigated the incident and stated that the hack would affect the broadcast schedules of several anime series, including One Piece.[10][11] In addition, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero was also rescheduled to June 11, 2022, due to the hack.[12][13][14] On April 6, 2022, Toei Animation announced that it would resume broadcasting the anime series, including One Piece.[15][16] The following day, the Japanese public broadcaster NHK reported that the hack was caused by a targeted ransomware attack.[17]

On June 5, 2025, the company announced a new animation production label known as Eterna Animation which would focus on original works with the label's first work, Foxing announced at the same time with the short being released during 2026.[18]

On August 26th of that year, the company announced the establishment of another studio in Osaka. The "Osaka Studio" would act as its second domestic animation studio further expanding Toei Animation's production work as well as recruiting artists from the Kansai region and build ties with the local community. According to Toei Animation board member and head of production Kiichiro Yamada, he states that the labor shortage in the Japanese animation industry is a serious issue and that the studio feels that it has an urgency to recruit creators and open studios across other regions in Japan rather than having to deal with the Tokyo studio.[19]
