Greeting from the President

Akira Takayama

Sustainable project creation for a “flat” world

Since Fanworks was founded by 2 people in 2005 with the objective of “business support for anime creators”, we have continued to produce fully-digital animation with a small staff that exemplifies each creator’s individuality. In addition, we collaborate with unique media and content-based companies from around the world, taking on projects that embody our founding principle of becoming “the FAN blowing winds of change” through entertaining animation featuring lovable characters.
What began as a one-person online anime production has branched out to animated TV series, original on-demand anime, theatrical films and much more. As our catalog of works has expanded, so too have the scale of our projects, which garner increasing requests for sequels. We continue to take animation and characters seriously, and strive to make more “cute and amusing” productions and sustainable endeavors going forward. Thank you for your interest and support.
