TOHO Acquires 6% Stake in Makoto Shinkai's Studio CoMix Wave Films

Japanese entertainment company TOHO announced on Tuesday that it has acquired 45 shares, or 6.09%, of stock in the anime management, production, and distribution company CoMix Wave Films.

CoMix Wave Films was established in 2007 when board director Noritaka Kawaguchi split and acquired CoMix Wave’s (formerly CW) animation business division as part of a management buyout (MBO).

TOHO acquired a controlling stake in the TIA (TOHO Interactive Animation) studio in 2022 and made it a subsidiary company under the new name TOHO animation STUDIO.
