“KONAMI animation” has the tagline “KONAMI + KONAMI to ANIME.” We have poured all the CG technology, know-how, and production environment cultivated through game production into animation. It is an in-house studio that aims to evolve so-called Japanimation dynamically.
Utilizing the know-how we have cultivated in digital content production over the years, we plan to work on a wide range of projects without focusing solely on our own IP.
