Overview
C2C, formally C2C Co., Ltd. and also known by its Japanese corporate name Kabushiki-gaisha C2C, is a Japanese animation studio established in April 2006. The company operates in the Japanese anime production sector, where its activities center on the development and production of animated television series and other animation formats, including original video animation and original net animation projects. Its work is generally created for the Japanese animation market and may reach overseas audiences through licensing, streaming, home-video distribution, and international broadcast arrangements, although specific distribution relationships are not established by the available reference material. The studio was founded by Ryousuke Yamada, who is identified as its representative staff member and president. C2C's production organization includes animation producers Yousuke Shimada, listed as serving from 2012 onward; Kazumasa Hayasaka, listed from 2015 onward; and Tsukuda Shouhei, listed from 2016 onward. These personnel listings indicate a studio structure organized around producer-led project development and delivery, rather than a consumer-facing product brand with a broad retail portfolio. C2C's principal offering is its animation production capability. The studio's work spans television series and shorter or direct-to-video and online formats. The available reference material confirms the existence of these categories but does not provide a sufficiently detailed, verified list of individual titles, release dates, clients, or commercial performance figures. Accordingly, C2C is best described as a specialist Japanese animation-production company whose brand is associated with anime studio work, production staff, and commissioned or collaboratively produced animated projects. The company is distinct from other entities using the abbreviation C2C and from the similarly named consumer-to-consumer business concept. Its authoritative reference subject is the Japanese animation studio. No verified information is available in the supplied material regarding its current corporate ownership, headquarters address, website, financial results, stock-market status, or expansion strategy. C2C's public identity is therefore primarily tied to its role in anime production and to the television, OVA, and ONA works catalogued under the studio name.
History
C2C Co., Ltd. is a Japanese animation studio founded in April 2006 by Ryousuke Yamada. The company was established to operate within Japan's anime production industry, producing animated works for television and other release formats. Unlike a consumer brand that sells standardized goods directly to the public, C2C functions primarily as a creative and production organization whose output consists of commissioned, collaborative, or studio-produced animation projects. The available reference information identifies television series as one of the studio's main production categories. It also lists OVA and ONA works, indicating that C2C's activities extend beyond traditional broadcast television. OVAs are animated works distributed outside the normal television broadcast schedule, while ONAs are projects distributed through internet-based channels. These formats allow an animation studio to serve different commissioning, distribution, and audience models, although the supplied sources do not establish the precise titles, production committees, distributors, or release dates associated with C2C's catalog. Ryousuke Yamada is identified as the studio's founder and president, making him the principal named figure in the company's corporate history. The reference also identifies several animation producers connected with the studio over time. Yousuke Shimada is listed from 2012 onward, Kazumasa Hayasaka from 2015 onward, and Tsukuda Shouhei from 2016 onward. Their inclusion suggests the development of a continuing internal production organization during the studio's later years. The available material does not describe changes in ownership, corporate restructuring, mergers, or a change of president. C2C's history is therefore best understood through its role in anime production rather than through publicly documented financial or retail milestones. The studio has maintained a presence across television and non-television animation formats, while its individual works form the main public record of its creative activity. The supplied references do not provide reliable information about revenue, employee count, headquarters, international subsidiaries, official corporate website, or current production volume. No verified scandals, lawsuits, recalls, leadership disputes, or major strategic transactions are identified in the available material.
