Today on June 1, 2021, KADOKAWA announced the establishment of Studio KADAN, KADOKAWA Group’s first production company that handles both 3DCG animation and VFX.
KADOKAWA Group has already owned two animation production companies – ENGI (Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!), a hybrid digital animation production studio that combines digital drawing and 3DCG, and KINEMA CITRUS (Made in Abyss), a company that produces internationally acclaimed hand-drawn animation.
Studio KADAN is a production studio based around Hiroyuki Seshita, one of Japan’s leading 3DCG animation directors, who has worked on the anime TV series Knights of Sidonia and the anime film BLAME!
