Shochiku

Shochiku

is a Japanese movie studio and production company for kabuki. It also produces and distributes anime films. Its most famous directors include Yasujiro Ozu, Kenji Mizoguchi, Keisuke Kinoshita,and Yoji Yamada. Shochiku has also produced films by famous independent and "loaner" directors such as Takashi Miike, Takeshi Kitano, Akira Kurosawa and Taiwanese New Wave director Hou Hsiao-Hsien.

Formed in 1895 by Takejiro Otani and his brother as a Kabuki production company, Shochiku grew fast, expanding its business to many more japanese live theatric styles, like No and Bunraku. The company began making films in 1921 and was the first film studio to abandon the use of female impersonators and sought to model itself and its films after Hollywood standards, bringing such things as the star system and the sound stage to Japan. Today, Shochiku is considered to be the oldest continuously-operating film studio in Japan.
