Animation studio Fukushima Gainax and Kinoshita Group Holdings announced on Monday that Kinoshita Group Holdings acquired 100% of Fukushima Gainax’s stock on July 26 — thus making Fukushima Gainax a wholly owned subsidiary under Kinoshita Group Holdings.
The original Gainax animation studio founded the Fukushima Gainax studio and its accompanying museum in 2015.
Fukushima Gainax changed its name to Gaina on August 9, and relocated its headquarters to Koganei, Tokyo.
Fukushima Gainax had already established a Tokyo studio in Koganei in September 2016, before moving its headquarters to Koganei under its new Gaina name this month.
