Shin-Ei Animation Co., Ltd. (Japanese: シンエイ動画株式会社, Hepburn: Shīn'eī Dōga Kabushiki-gaisha) is a Japanese animation studio owned by TV Asahi and founded in Tokyo in 1965 as A Production by Daikichirō Kusube, who was previously an animator for Toei Animation and a successor of both former Asahi Eigasha that was founded in 1936 and Shin-Asahi Eigasha that was founded in 1938.[1][2]

History

[edit]

Shin-Ei Animation's history begins in December 1965 as A Production (エイプロダクション, Ei Purodakshon) by Daikichirō Kusube who was then a former animator at Toei.

Shin-Ei is known for being the animation studio behind two of the anime television series — Doraemon and Crayon Shin-chan in 1979 and 1992 respectively. They have been running on Japanese television ever since.

In 2010, TV Asahi had acquired the animation studio.[3]

In April 2017, SynergySP became a subsidiary of the company.
