Glory Quest (グローリークエスト,Gurōriikuesuto) is a Japaneseadult video (AV) production company specializing infetish videos.[1] Its offices are in theToshima ward ofTokyo,Japan.
The Glory Quest studio has produced adult videos since at least June 10, 2000, when it releasedSweet Doll 01 (スイートドールスペシャル 01) on VHS (SDS-01).[2] In December 2019,DMM listed 3532 videos available for purchase under the Glory Quest studio, and 2110 videos under the GLORY QUEST label.[3][4] The company releases its videos twice a month, at a rate of about 18–20 videos per month.[5] On their website, www.gloryquest.tv, members can download videos and order Glory Quest DVDs.

Glory Quest produces adult videos in various adult genres, including popular actresses in "big bust" (巨乳) videos.[7] It has also made more extreme fetish videos under its Maniac label, including such genres asfisting,S&M,scat and, at one time,bestiality.[8][9] Its Maniac Shemale, Transgender and Ultra Sex labels feature videos withtranssexual actresses.[10]
Another notable genre for Glory Quest has been "elder porn", a fast-growing niche inJapanese pornography. As Glory Quest public relations representative Kayoko Iimura has said: "If we only make standard fare, we cannot beat other studios ... so we wanted to make something new. A relationship between wife and an old father-in-law has enough twist to create an atmosphere of mystery and captivate viewer's hearts."[11] Glory Quest's elder star isShigeo Tokuda, born in 1934, who has "proved to be a goldmine for Glory Quest" with two "old man" series:Maniac Training of Lolitas (December 2004) andForbidden Elderly Care (Forbidden Nursing) (August 2006). A third series,Big Tits Loving Grandfather Erotic Mischief, began in April 2008.[11][12]

Its CEO is Ken Miyasaka (宮坂謙).[1] It remains an independent company and is not part of a conglomerate. Like other Japanese AV companies, it belongs to one of the voluntary "ethics groups" which regulate content and censorship: the Content Soft Association (CSA) (Japanese: コンテンツ・ソフト協同組合 [Software Content Association]), a creation of theSoft On Demand group of companies.[13]
