Before Eiken, the studio was known as the Television Corporation of Japan (TCJ). It started off producing commercials before entering the anime industry with Sennin Buraku and Gigantor. Since then, it has co-produced (with Tokyo Hoso (TBS)) numerous anime like Space Boy Soran, Skyers 5 and Sasuke.

During the middle of Sasuke, TCJ split into two studios, TCJ Video Center, which renamed itself to Eiken and Zuiyo Eizō.
