REMOW Co., Ltd. (Japanese: 会社情報のご案内,Hepburn:Kabushiki-gaisha Remow) is a Japanese media company headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo. The company was founded in late 2021, and specializes in the global distribution, production, and intellectual property (IP) management of Japanese entertainment, particularly anime. REMOW operates as a strategic joint venture backed by major Japanese publishers, broadcasters, and conglomerates, includingShueisha,Sumitomo Corporation,Toei Animation, andTV Tokyo. Its primary mission is to establish a legitimate global distribution network for Japanese content to combat piracy and expand the market for Japanese IP.[1] Most of the anime licensed by Remow are usually seen on Remow'sIt's AnimeYouTube channel and sometimes onAmazon Prime Video andNetflix, and in some cases onCrunchyroll.
REMOW was established on November 9, 2021, by Akira Ishii, who serves as the company's CEO. The company was founded during a period of rapid growth in the global anime market, which reached record highs in the early 2020s.
On May 2022, REMOW raised ¥1.28 billion in a seed funding round from nine major partners, includingDeNA,Fuji Media Holdings, andToei Animation. That same year, it formed a capital alliance with Anime Onegai, a streaming service catering to theLatin American market.
By early 2025, the company secured significant strategic investment fromSumitomo Corporation and an additional injection fromShueisha. This partnership was designed to leverage Sumitomo's global infrastructure and Shueisha's vast library of manga titles to accelerate REMOW's "hardware and software" distribution strategy.
On July 2, 2025, REMOW Launched “It’s Anime” a 24-Hour FAST Channel inNorth America.[2][3]
On December 1, 2025, REMOW announced that it is launching the "It's Anime" FAST channel on VIZIO's WatchFree+ app in theUnited States.[4]
