Shirogumi Inc. (Japanese: 株式会社白組, Hepburn: Kabushiki-gaisha Shirogumi) is a company centralized in the production of animated series and feature films, as well as the making and adjusting of visual effects.[1] It is also a member of The Association of Japanese Animations.

History

In 1973, Tatsuo Shimamura established Tatsuo studio (Japanese: 島村企画室). To expand business, the studio was disbanded and found the company known today.[1]

The company owns computer graphics and VFX technology, so they produced many original live-action films like Juvenile and Returner. They made the first anime production Moyasimon: Tales of Agriculture in 2007.[2]

Apart from the headquarters in Aoyama, Minato, Tokyo, the company has a sub-studio based in Chōfu, Tokyo. Like the mainstream, they also have various sub-studios in Tokyo.[1]

In order to develop human resources, they cooperate with Human Holdings Co., Ltd. (Japanese: ヒューマンホールディングス株式会社), establishing the Shirogumi Human Studio (Japanese: 白組ヒューマンスタジオ) in Takadanobaba, Shinjuku in 2004.[1]
