## History

On April 4, 2018, Kadokawa established ENGI, while Sammy and Ultra Super Pictures invested on the company as well.[2] It began operation on June 1, 2018.[3] The studio is based in Suginami, Tokyo.[4] Former Qtec representative director Tohru Kajio is serving as representative director for the new company. Board members include Kadokawa's Hiroshi Horiuchi and Takeshi Kikuchi, Kadokawa subsidiary Glovision's Shun'ichi Okabe, and Sammy's Ken'ichi Tokumura.[1]

ENGI is an animation studio that mainly works within the anime industry for its shareholders Kadokawa, Sammy and Ultra Super Pictures, including but not limited to TV productions, game animations, Pachinko animations and theatrical films.[5] The studio is responsible for producing the 2nd Kantai Collection anime,[6] and is working on the upcoming animated comic series Okamoto Kitchen.[7]

On March 25, 2020, it was announced ENGI opened its second studio ENGI Kurashiki Studio in Kurashiki, Okayama.[8]

The company's original objective was mainly 2D projects, and its CGI department was launched for the 2023 Netflix series Gamera Rebirth. Building of the department and the production of the Gamera anime were simultaneously progressed, and their workloads were significantly increased.[9][10]
