TMS Entertainment Co., Ltd. (株式会社トムス・エンタテインメント,Kabushiki-gaisha Tomusu Entateinmento), formerly known as theKyokuichi Corporation[a] is a Japaneseanimation studio owned bySega Corporation.
TMS is one of the oldest and most renowned animation studios in Japan, known for its numerous anime franchises such asDetective Conan,Lupin the Third, andAnpanman.[4]
TMS Entertainment is the animation business company of the Sega Group and a well-established animation studio with its origins in Tokyo Movie. Originally established in 1946 as a textile manufacturer, the company entered animation when they merged with animation studio Tokyo Movie Shinsha to start an animation production business, known as theKyokuichi Tokyo Movie[b] division orTMS-Kyokuichi.[c][3][4]
Tokyo Movie Shinsha was one of the five major studios in the early days of Japanese animation, producing and/or animating a string of popular works from the 1960s to the 1970s, includingObake no Q-Tarō,Star of the Giants,Moomin,Attack No. 1,Tensai Bakabon,Lupin the 3rd Part I,Aim for the Ace!, andGamba no Bouken.[5]
TMS has studios 1 through 7 under its production headquarters, each with a nickname for the work they are involved in, such as Studio 1, 3xCube, Trois Studios, Rogue Studio, and Double Eagle. Each studio has its own production and management staff, including producers and production assistants. As for animators, each studio contracts them on a work-by-work basis. However, head creators sometimes have exclusive contracts and are given their own desks within the company to work on.[3]
In addition to its own studios, TMS has wholly-owned animation studios such asTelecom Animation Film, TMS Jinni's and Toon Additional Pictures.[4]
Throughout the 1980s and the 1990s, TMS and its subsidiaries, Telecom Animation Film and South Korea-based Seoul Movie, animated for various companies, includingDiC,Disney Television Animation,Warner Bros. Animation,Marvel Films Animation,Studio Ghibli,Madhouse,Production I.G,Sunrise,Bones,ShoPro,Shogakukan Music & Digital Entertainment among others,[6] Since the early 2000s, TMS itself has no longer supplied animation services to Western studios due to increasingly demanding costs,[6][7] although there have been a few exceptions such asGreen Lantern: First Flight (2009) andSuperman vs. The Elite (2012). While it still produces feature films, these films are primarily spinoffs from existing anime properties, which include the likes ofAnpanman andDetective Conan.[citation needed]
In 1946,Asahi Glove Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (アサヒ手袋製造株式会社,Asahi Tebukuro Seizō Kabushiki-gaisha) was founded in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture and the trade name was soon changed toKyokuichi Knitting & Weaving Co., Ltd. (旭一編織株式会社,Kyokuichi Amiori Kabushiki-gaisha).[1]
The company changed its name toKyokuichi Co., Ltd. (株式会社キョクイチ,Kabushiki-gaisha Kyokuichi) in 1947, and then toKyokuichi Shine Industries Co., Ltd. (旭一シャイン工業株式会社,Kyokuichi Shain Kōgyō Kabushiki-gaisha) in 1957, and was listed on the Nagoya Stock Exchange.
The company established Shine Mink Co., Ltd. inSapporo, Hokkaido in 1961, opened aminkbreeding farm and began itsfur business in 1962, and merged with Shine Mink in 1974 to form the Mink Division.
In 1989, Kyokuichi Shine Industries was acquired by Watchman Group, a mass retail group of watches and home appliances, and changed its business format to entertainment business.

In 1964, Yutaka Fujioka, a former staff of the puppet theater company Hitomi-za (人形劇団ひとみ座,Ningyō Gekidan Hitomi-za), established the animation studioTokyo Movie Co., Ltd.[d] with investment fromTokyo Broadcasting System.[2][8][9]
Inspired by the broadcast of the first domestically produced animated TV seriesAstro Boy onFuji Television the previous year, TBS encouraged Fujioka, who was working at Tokyo Ningyo Cinema (東京人形シネマ,Tōkyō Ningyō Shinema), the film production division of Hitomi-za, which had produced puppet theater programs for the station, to establish a studio.
The studio's first production was an animated adaptation ofOsamu Tezuka'sBig X.[2] However, because all the staff came from puppet theater backgrounds and were unfamiliar with animation, the studio suffered a huge loss and fell into financial crisis.
In order to restore management, the studio received capital participation from the TV production company Kokusai Hōei (formerlyShintoho). Fujioka, the founder of the company, was demoted to director and head of the production department, and Rokuzo Abe of Kokusai Hōei was appointed as the new president.
In 1965, Fujioka establishedA Production to rebuild the production system, and Tokyo Movie formed a business alliance with A Production as an actual animation production company. Fujioka approached Daikichirō Kusube, who had leftToei Doga and was working as afreelancer, and by making him the representative of A Production, he succeeded in inviting talented Toei creators such asTsutomu Shibayama, Yoshio Kabashima, and Keisuke Morishita. Fujioka also welcomedIsao Takahata,Hayao Miyazaki,Yasuo Ōtsuka, andYōichi Kotabe, who had been forced out of Toei for overspending onThe Great Adventure of Horus, Prince of the Sun.[10][11][12]
Early directors, such asTadao Nagahama andMasaaki Ōsumi, were all from puppet theater companies with no animation experience, but they produced a series of hits, includingObake no Q-Tarō,Star of the Giants, andAttack No. 1. Thanks to them, Tokyo Movie became independent from Kokusai Hōei in 1971, and Fujioka returned as president. The studio continued to produce a string of hits thereafter, includingTensai Bakabon,Lupin the 3rd Part I,Aim for the Ace!, andGamba no Bouken.[5]
Fujioka invested inMadhouse when it was founded in 1972.[citation needed]
In 1975, Tokyo Movie establishedTelecom Animation Film to train animators who could draw full animations.[13][14]
Feeling the limitations of the Japanese animation business, Fujioka dreamed of expanding to the United States and making full animation films that could compete withDisney. However, sincelimited animation, which had been adopted and developed by Osamu Tezuka, was the mainstream in Japan, he planned to establish a new animation studio that would handle full animation and use it as a base to produce joint Japanese-US animated films.[5][13][14]
Fujioka chose the legendary American cartoonLittle Nemo as the basis for his animated film, and began acquiring the film rights in 1977.[13][14] Telecom received over 1,000 applications for its employee recruitment, and Fujioka hired 43 people with no animation production experience. Rather than hiring animators with limited animation production experience, Fujioka chose to hire inexperienced amateurs and train them to become first-class animators who could draw full animations. Telecom invited Sadao Tsukioka, who was considered a genius, as a lecturer for the first year, and Yasuo Ōtsuka the following year.[5]
In June 1976, Tokyo Movie spun off its sales division to establishTokyo Movie Shinsha Co., Ltd.,[e], and the original Tokyo Movie was absorbed into it.[2] Kusube and A Production terminated its business alliance with Tokyo Movie, changed its name toShin-Ei Animation, and began its own path.
In the summer of 1978, Fujioka acquired the film rights toLittle Nemo.[5][14] However, due to difficulties in raising funds and securing staff, production was slow to begin, so Telecom produced TV series and movies under Ōtsuka, includingLupin the 3rd Part II.[14] Ōtsuka approached Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, with Miyazaki directing the secondLupin the 3rd film,The Castle of Cagliostro, and Takahata directingJarinko Chie.[5]
Fujioka frequently invited Hollywood film professionals to screen The two films to promote the production capabilities of Telecom and Japanese animation industry, which at the time was underrated in the United States. These films attracted attention, especially among young animators, includingJohn Lasseter.[14] The event also drew an unexpected response, with Telecom receiving requests to produce a TV series from countries outside the U.S., includingItaly.[15]
In the U.S., the studio took on subcontracting work for production companies such as Disney,Warner Bros., andFilmation, and became proficient in the art of full animation.[16]
In the early 1980s, Tokyo Movie Shinsha (TMS) began working on international co-productions by big-name directors with the goal of expanding overseas.[17] TMS partnered with the French (later American) companyDiC as an overseas subcontractor to produce animation for the company in 1980.[f] Two Japanese-French co-productions,Ulysses 31[g] in 1981, directed by Tadao Nagahama, andLupin VIII[h] in 1982, directed byRintaro, were produced in cooperation with DIC.
TMS began production of the Japanese-Italian co-production TV seriesSherlock Hound in 1981 at the request ofRAI, the Italian national public broadcasting company.The series was directed by Hayao Miyazaki and animated by Telecom Animation Film.[17][18] However, the collaboration was dissolved after six episodes were produced, and the remaining 20 episodes were subsequently financed by Japanese companies. Kyosuke Mikuriya took over as director, and with Telecom leaving to focus on the filmNemo, TMS outsourced the animation to the fledgling studioGallop.[18]Osamu Dezaki directed the largest number of animated co-productions, includingMighty Orbots,[i]Bionic Six, andSweet Sea.[j][17]
In the spring of 1981, Fujioka received an investment from Lake, aconsumer finance company, and established Kineto TMS, a U.S. incorporated company, to begin full-scale production of the filmLittle Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland.[5][15]
The initial production budget was reported to be about 3.6 billion yen (16 million dollars at the exchange rate in 1981).[19] Under Fujioka's grand order to produce a world-class animation film, creators from Japan and abroad were assembled. Many prominent figures were involved in the production, including Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, Osamu Dezaki, Yasuo Ōtsuka,Ray Bradbury,Jean Giraud (Mobius), andChris Columbus.[15][20][21] However, the production ran into difficulties due to various crosscurrents between Japan and the U.S. Miyazaki and Takahata, who were originally slated to direct the film, dropped out of the project, and the staff was replaced one by one in the following years.[13][19]
In 1982, Fujioka secured the cooperation ofFrank Thomas andOllie Johnston fromDisney's Nine Old Men. In the summer of that year, at their invitation, Miyazaki, Takahata, Ōtsuka, and other Japanese staff members visited the U.S. under the guise of training. While the Japanese staff members were greatly inspired by the two during their training, when the two saw the sketches drawn by Miyazaki, they said there was nothing they could teach them.[5][22]
Young American animators who had heard rumors of theNemo production also came to Kineto TMS to sell themselves, including John Lasseter andBrad Bird, who reportedly met Miyazaki there for the first time. Bird brought in his own film and unofficially drew several image boards.[19][22] Fujioka succeeded in meetingGeorge Lucas and asked him to be the American producer, but he declined, saying he was busy with the newStar Wars andIndiana Jones films, and instead recommendedGary Kurtz, who was also a producer onStar Wars.[5][13] Fujioka from Japan was appointedline producer, and Kurtz from the United States was appointedfilm producer.[13][15]
Kurtz recommended Ray Bradbury as the screenwriter, and the project got underway.[5][15] When the Japanese production team was handed the first draft of Bradbury's screenplay, they wondered if it was too philosophical to be entertaining.[15] Miyazaki presented various ideas for the script to Kurtz, but he never adopted them.[k][5][22]
Kurtz was executive producingReturn to Oz for Disney at this time and spent most of his time inLondon andNew York, visiting the site ofNemo inLos Angeles only once a month, and then for just a couple of hours in the afternoon.[23] Due to conflicts with Kurtz, Miyazaki resigned from Telecom in November 1982, and Takahata in March 1983.[5][22] Kurtz's dictatorship continued, and the project went astray. The directors changed one after another, and the team went all to bits. The production budget of 4.5 billion yen (19 million dollars at the 1984 rate) ran out before the animation work began, and the project was suspended in August 1984.[5][13][22]
In June 1988, TMS dissolved its own production division, Tokyo Movie and absorbed it, Tokyo Movie would continue as a TMS subsidiary until 1993.[2]
Fujioka resumed production after securing an additional investment of 1 billion yen (6.9 million dollars at the 1987 rate) from Lake in 1987 and terminated his contract with Kurtz and took full responsibility for the film, becomingexecutive producer himself.[13][22] The film was completed in 1988 and released in Japan in July 1989, and received mixed reviews, it ended up grossing around 900 million yen (7 million dollars at the 1988 rate) at the box office.[13] It was released in the United States in 1992 in 2,300 theaters and sold 4 million videos, but the production costs were not recouped.[19][22] The film took about seven years to complete (it took 10 years for the U.S. release), and production costs eventually rose to 5.5 billion yen (43.3 million dollars at the 1992 rate).[20][21]
The main staff changed constantly, and later left behind a vast number of ideas, designs, and sketches submitted by various creators,[l] scenarios by Bradley, Columbus, most of which were never used, and others, andpilots in three versions: Sadao Tsukioka's version,Yoshifumi Kondō andKazuhide Tomonaga's version, and Osamu Desaki's version.[5][21]
It was an unprecedented project in the history of Japanese animation, but it ended in failure, and Fujioka took responsibility for it, relinquished all rights related to Tokyo Movie, and retired from the industry.[10][13] Although Fujioka's ambitions ended in failure,Nemo left a great legacy, laying the foundation for the subsequent expansion of Japanese animation into the American market and also pioneering exchanges between Japan and the US in animation, such as the relationship between Miyazaki and the Nine Old Men.[22] The composition of members at Telecom Animation Film for animated feature films directed by Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata also served as a stepping stone for the transfer of Toei Animation's feature film production techniques toStudio Ghibli.[10]

Kyokuichi Co., Ltd. opened its firstamusement arcade in 1991, and joined the Sega Group in 1992 through a business alliance withSega andSega Toys.[24] In the same year, Tokyo Movie Shinsha became a subsidiary of Sega through a stock acquisition.
On November 1, 1995, Sega absorbed Tokyo Movie Shinsha into Kyokuichi, with Kyokuichi as the surviving company.[1][2] In conjunction with this merger, Kyokuichi made Telecom Animation Film and TMS Photo, which were subsidiaries of Tokyo Movie Shinsha, its own subsidiaries. Kyokuichi established a Tokyo branch office and launched its animation production division, Tokyo Movie Division. The name of the company was credited as Kyokuichi Tokyo Movie in the anime works produced at that time, however international prints used the TMS-Kyokuichi name.
In 1996 the Los Angeles studio was established.[1]
On January 1, 2000, Kyokuichi changed its name to TMS Entertainment Co., Ltd.[c][1][2] The name Tokyo Movie remained as the name of the animation production division and as the brand name for animation production.
In 2003, the company completely withdrew from the textile business.[citation needed] Since then, animation production and amusement arcade operations were the two mainstays of its business.
In 2003, American brokerage groupMerrill Lynch became the second-largest shareholder in TMS Entertainment after acquiring a 7.54 percent stake in the studio. Merrill Lynch purchased the stake purely for investment purposes and had no intention of acquiring control of the firm's management.[25]
In 2005,Sega Sammy Holdings acquired a 50.2% stake in TMS Entertainment, making it a subsidiary.[26]
In 2006, the Tokyo branch was reorganized as the Tokyo headquarters and merged with the Head Office in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture. The headquarters then moved toShinjuku, Tokyo.[1] The Los Angeles studio was reorganized as TMS ENTERTAINMENT, USA, INC.[1]
In February 2007, TMS Entertainment announced the completion of its fourth Tokyo studio (Building D) inNakano, Tokyo. The company stated that Shinjuku would thereafter serve as the base for its corporate division and Nakano as the base for its production division.[27]
In 2008, the company withdrew from the amusement arcade business and concentrated its business on animation production.
In 2010, TMS Entertainment was delisted and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Sega Sammy Holdings through a share exchange.[28]
In 2011, the credits forDetective Conan were changed to TMS Entertainment, and animation production under the Tokyo Movie name ended.
In November 2012, TMS relocated its headquarters to Nakano, Tokyo.[1][2]
TMS Entertainment took a stake in Jinni's Animation Studio, aVFX andCG production company, in 2013 and made it a group company in 2015. With that, the company name was changed to TMS Jinni's.
In November 2013, a new studio was completed in Nakano, Tokyo.
In April 2015, the Sega Sammy Holdings was reorganized to form the new Sega Group. TMS Entertainment became a wholly owned subsidiary of the newly establishedSega Holdings.[24][29]
Marza Animation Planet moved from being part of Sega Holdings to being part of TMS Entertainment in April 2017. TMS Entertainment transferred all of the digital content planning, development, and production business owned by its subsidiary TOCSIS to Marza Animation Planet in April 2019.[30]
In July 2021, TMS Entertainment announced the launch of the Unlimited Produce Project. The project is characterized by its focus on collaboration with outside studios to strengthen production operations such as planning, production, business, and promotion of works. The first project isResident Evil: Infinite Darkness, which was distributed worldwide on Netflix from July 8, 2021, and was produced in collaboration with CG studio Quebico.[4]
In April 2023, Marza Animation Planet moved from under TMS Entertainment to under its parent company, Sega.[30]
In 2024, TMS Entertainment transferred the 3DCG video production business of its subsidiary TMS Jinni's to its subsidiary Toms Photo through a company split.
