Overview

East Fish Studio Inc. is a Japanese animation production studio headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo. The company was established on June 1, 2017, by Ryū Suzumori, who had previously worked as a production assistant at OLM. Its formation placed the studio within Japan's extensive network of specialist animation companies that contribute to television series, original video animation, and theatrical film production. Publicly available reference material identifies East Fish Studio primarily through its corporate profile and categories of animated work rather than through a broad consumer-facing brand portfolio. The studio is associated with television animation, original video animations, and films, but the supplied reference material does not identify specific titles, release dates, distributors, production committees, or recurring intellectual properties. As a result, the company is best described as a production studio rather than as a publisher, broadcaster, game company, or mass-market entertainment brand. The studio's Tokyo base is consistent with its position in Japan's commercial animation ecosystem, where production companies commonly operate as part of project-based collaborations involving producers, broadcasters, publishers, licensors, animation staff, and other subcontractors. The available information does not establish whether East Fish Studio owns a substantial catalog of intellectual property, maintains a permanent animation staff of a particular size, or operates subsidiaries or overseas offices. No parent company, public listing, ticker symbol, financial information, or official website URL is confirmed in the supplied material. East Fish Studio therefore has a limited but identifiable public profile: it is a Japanese animation studio founded in 2017, with a presence across television, original video, and film production categories. Further research would be required to document its individual credits, production role on specific projects, current operating status, leadership beyond its founder, business scale, and international distribution relationships.

History

East Fish Studio was founded on June 1, 2017, in Japan by Ryū Suzumori, a former production assistant at OLM. The company was established as an animation studio in Shibuya, Tokyo, placing it within one of Japan's principal centers for media, creative, and entertainment businesses. The available reference material provides only a concise corporate history. It confirms the studio's founding date, location, founder, and connection to Suzumori's earlier production experience, but does not describe the circumstances of its establishment, its initial financing, staffing model, production partners, or first credited project. It also does not identify any subsequent acquisitions, ownership changes, rebrandings, office moves, public offerings, or corporate restructurings. East Fish Studio's documented work categories include television series, original video animations, and films. These categories indicate that the company participates in multiple forms of Japanese animation production, from broadcast-oriented series to direct-to-video or otherwise independently distributed animation and theatrical projects. However, the supplied material does not name individual works, specify whether the studio served as lead animation producer or subcontractor, or provide release chronology. Consequently, a detailed project-by-project history cannot be established without additional reliable sources. The studio's public identity remains closely tied to animation production rather than to a separately marketed consumer product line. There is no confirmed evidence in the supplied material that it operates a game business, despite the earlier dossier's broader suggestion that it might be involved in games. The available encyclopedia reference supports animation as the documented field and does not substantiate game development or publishing. No current executive roster is available beyond the founder's identification at the time of establishment. Likewise, the company's present operating status, financial scale, international activities, ownership, and official web presence are not confirmed by the supplied information. East Fish Studio should therefore be treated as a documented Japanese animation studio with a relatively sparse publicly available corporate record.
