Benten Film Co., Ltd. (Japanese:株式会社BENTEN Film,Hepburn:Kabushiki-gaisha Benten Film), formerly known asGaina Co., Ltd.

In March 2015,Gainax established Fukushima Gainax, a new animation studio and museum, in a converted junior high school building inMiharu, Fukushima to take more overseas outsourcing work. The studio and museum were established to bring more tourism to the area in the wake of theFukushima nuclear accident in 2011.^[1] In December 2015, Fukushima Gainax and Gainax became independent companies with no relation between each other besides the Gainax name, with the company starting their own projects later.^{[citation needed]}

In September 2016, the company established a new subsidiary in Tokyo.^{[citation needed]} In August 2018, it was announced that Fukushima Gainax had been acquired by Kinoshita Group Holdings on July 26, making it Kinoshita's new subsidiary. Fukushima Gainax changed its studio name to Gaina and relocated to Koganei, Tokyo on August 9, with its new parent company planning to make the new subsidiary a pillar of its anime production to expand its business.^[2]

In August 2025, Kinoshita Group Holdings sold Gaina to AI animation company Creator's X and Gaina changed its name to Benten Film.^[3]
