Giza Studio (ギザ ステューディオ, Giza Sutyūdio) is a Japanese record label, music production company and music publisher based in Osaka, founded in 1998 by music producer Daiko Nagato. Giza's artists have provided numerous opening and ending themes for Anime television series such as Meitantei Conan,[2] Project ARMS, MÄR and Tantei Gakuen Q.

The Giza Studio started as an indie label under the name Garage Indies Zapping Association, but soon B Zone bought it as their sister label company and renamed it to only Giza.[3] Since their commercial service launched on September 1, 1998, Giza Studio has been producing the following years commercially successful artists as Mai Kuraki, Garnet Crow and Rina Aiuchi[4] Along with other Being Group's sister labels (Zain Records, Rooms Records, B-Gram Records, BMFC, Vermillion Records and Northern Music), the studio's main task is to create music productivity by hiring talented artists, composers and engineers.[5]

In 2021, the singer Rina Aiuchi accused her former producer for sexual harassment and filed a lawsuit against talent agency Giza Studio, seeking 10 million yen, alleging that they did not protect her from harassment. Nagato himself did not admit it and claims the opposite of what he is accused of.[6] In 2022, the official website has launched special statement toward lawsuit case which allows her to use her stage name once again. In 2023, Aiuchi accused her producer for the second time, however with the same results as previously of not admitting harassment action.[7]
