Descrizione
Production I.G., Inc. was founded on December 15, 1987, as I.G. Tatsunoko and is a Japanese company headquartered in Musashino.
The company’s main activities include the planning and production of animation.
In 1987, the production department of Tatsunoko Production became independent, and I.G. Tatsunoko was founded in December. In May 1991, the studio was founded in Niigata.
In 1993, the company was renamed to its current name, Production I.G., Inc. The subsidiary XEBEC was founded in May 1995, followed by the founding of Bee Train Productions in June 1997. In April 1998, the company underwent a major reorganisation. The company was changed from a “Yuugen Gaisha” to a “Kabushiki Gaisha”. (Comparable to the change from a GmbH to an AG in Germany).
In September 2000, the company was merged with Ing, which was founded in the 1990s. Ing was originally founded for planning and production, but after that, it only dealt with copyright issues. In the same year, the company was able to secure the rights to “Blood: The Last Vampire – Night of the Beasts” and released the corresponding anime, which was the company’s first complete in-house production.
In November 2007, the company underwent a complete reorganisation and was reestablished as a subsidiary of the holding company IG Port.
The company has held an approx. 11% stake in the animation studio Tatsunoko Production since June 2010.
In June 2012, the parent company founded the animation studio WIT Studio. The parent company also founded SIGNAL.MD in October 2014.
At the end of April 2010, the company moved into its new offices in the city of Musashino. Previously, the headquarters had been located in Kokubinji for many years. Many smaller offices and studios were also consolidated in the new office space.
In 2019, due to financial problems at the subsidiary, the decision was made to dissolve XEBEC and partially integrate it into the existing company structure. The XEBEC Two department was retained as a department, but became part of the company and was renamed IGzwei.
The sister company SIGNAL.MD was absorbed on June 1, 2025.
