| 3 | Called Toei Douga before 1998 (and officially known, even in Japanese, as Toei Animation since then), [[https://www.toei-anim.co.jp Toei Animation]] is an {{anime}} company affiliated with the Creator/ToeiCompany[[note]]which also has a {{toku}}satsu studio responsible for the ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' (by which they have half-ownership of the ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' franchise) and ''Franchise/KamenRider'' franchises among other departments. They've also commissioned anime such as ''Anime/MajokkoTickle'' that were animated by studios other than Toei Animation, but that's another story.[[/note]] and one of the oldest (it can trace its roots back to 1948) and largest animation companies. Toei is responsible for producing a large number of popular anime, including ''Anime/MazingerZ'', ''Anime/{{Devilman}}'', ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'', ''Franchise/DragonBall'', ''Anime/SailorMoon'', ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'', ''Anime/PrettyCure'' and ''Manga/OnePiece''. In other words, it was responsible for defining the HumongousMecha, SpaceOpera, [[{{Shonen}} Battle Shonen]], and MagicalGirl genres as we know them today, codifying many reoccuring tropes from often disparate source materials. |

| 5 | When the studio started in 1956, the studio did mostly Disney-like art films, but based around native Japanese artwork and some stuff for Creator/RankinBass. Some people like Creator/IsaoTakahata (the director of ''Anime/GraveOfTheFireflies''), [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoichi_Kotabe Yoichi]] [[http://www.mariowiki.com/Yoichi_Kotabe Kotabe]] (mostly known for doing most of Creator/{{Nintendo}}[='s=] 2D artwork), [[Creator/TMSEntertainment Yasuo Otsuka]] and Creator/HayaoMiyazaki (Co-Founder of Creator/StudioGhibli) worked at Toei at this time. However due to [[MoneyDearBoy the staff members wanting more money]] and how the studio was going, many staff members left for other studios like Creator/TMSEntertainment (Namely A-Productions then later Telecom), Creator/NipponAnimation, and Creator/{{Topcraft}} (then later Creator/StudioGhibli). |

| 7 | They've also done a [[WesternAnimation/{{Jem}} bit]] [[WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981 of]] [[WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero work]] [[Anime/HaloLegends on]] [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers American]] [[WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984 cartoons]], but those are few and far between after the 1980s ended. Toei Animation itself was one of the first Japanese studios to outsource its own productions to Korean studios, starting in the early 1970s. They, along with Creator/TMSEntertainment, Creator/{{Sunrise}} and Creator/{{Sony}} also had a hand behind Anime channel Creator/{{Animax}}, as well as the website [[http://www.daisuki.net Daisuki]] (the second venture also in partnership with Nihon Ad Systems, Dentsu, Asatsu-DK). The animation studio also historically had a long association with Creator/TVAsahi, as the network's predecessor, NET (Nihon Educational Television), was originally part-owned by the parent Toei company. |

| 9 | Somewhat less flatteringly, they've picked up a reputation among Western distributors for being difficult to work with. They've been criticized in the past for providing video masters of inferior quality to distributors. Notably the UK and Australian releases of ''Anime/TransformersVictory'' and ''Anime/TransformersSuperGodMasterforce'' were missing recap episodes, and ADV's release of ''Anime/SailorMoon'' being forced to use sub-standard prints. Additionally, they're partially to blame for the changes Creator/FourKidsEntertainment made for their dub of ''Manga/OnePiece''. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Toei Animation also has a subsidiary studio, Toei Animation Philippines (or TAP for short), which has worked on most of Toei's shows and non-Toei series as well. Its Korean subsidiary also worked on outside series, such as ''Manga/HoneyHoney'' and ''Anime/MakyouDensetsuAcrobunch''. Starting in 2023, the studio has begun incorporation of the Creator/BlenderFoundation's open-source 3D software into their pipeline. With the assistance of other anime companies like Creator/{{MAPPA}}, Creator/{{Graphinica}} and Samurai Pictures, they helped form the Anime Blender Explorers group as a means to bring the software into more productions. |

| 35 | [[folder:Studios Founded by Ex-Toei Animation Staff Members]] |
| 36 | * Hetena Pro: Founded in 1964 by Takao Kozai, Fusahiro Nagaki, Kenzo Koizumi, and Hiroshi Wagatsuma as an outsourcing studio for Toei and Mushi. In 1969, the company disbanded and was split into 5 to 6 studios, including Studio Junio (see below) and [[Creator/OhProduction Oh! Production]]. |
| 37 | * A-Productions: Founded in 1965, the company served as Creator/{{TMS|Entertainment}}'s animation unit. In 1976, A-Pro split off from TMS and got 98% of their stocks; 90% was sold to TV Asahi, 8% of it became Creator/ShinEiAnimation. The remaining 2% that TMS did not give out went into their Telecom unit (founded in 1975). Other animators at the time of the split-off left to work for Nippon Animation, and studios like Wind Production and Creator/StudioKorumi. Notable staff in A-Pro include Osamu Kobayashi, Yoshifumi Kondo, Daikichirō Kusube (the studio's founder), and Tsutomu Shibayama (who would direct the first season of ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf''). |
| 38 | * Creator/KnackProductions: Founded in 1967 by former employees of both Toei and Mushi Production. Knack Productions gained a dubious reputation for producing shows featuring poor animation even for their vintage, and premises that ripped off other, more popular shows. Some of their productions, notably ''Anime/AttackerYou'' and their version of ''Literature/TheLittlePrince'', received worldwide popularity and acclaim, but these days they're probably best known these days for the infamous ''Anime/ChargemanKen''. Now known as ICHI Corporation. |
| 39 | * Creator/KobayashiProduction: A background studio founded in 1968 by artist Shichirō Kobayashi who began his career at Toei. The studio has worked on many productions, including ''Anime/Berserk1997'' until its closure in 2011 after Kobayashi's passing. |
| 40 | * Neo Media: Founded in 1969. Its credits include the 1979 ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'' TV series and ''Anime/MajokkoTickle''. |
| 41 | * Creator/ArakiProductions: Founded by Shingo Araki who worked with Toei often during the '60s, '70s and '80s. Best known for their work on ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget''. They also worked as an outsourcing studio for Toei Animation on shows like ''Anime/HanaNoKoLunlun'' and ''Anime/SaintSeiya''. |
| 42 | * Creator/StudioJunio: Founded in 1970 by Takao Kozai, the company has worked on shows mainly for Toei and TMS among other studios, as well as eight episodes of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''. They have since become Creator/FAIInternational. |
| 43 | ** Creator/SynergySP: Originally known as Synergy Japan, it was founded in 1998 as a spin-off from Studio Junio, itself founded by ex-Toei staff. They are best known for their work on the first season of ''Hayate the Combat Butler''. |
| 44 | * Studio Coral Reef/Sangosho: A photography studio founded in the early 70's by Masaaki Sugaya. |
| 45 | * Creator/{{Topcraft}}: Founded in 1972 by animator Toru Hara at a time when it was thought that Toei was jumping the shark, the studio did much of Rankin/Bass's non-stop-motion work, as well as Hayao Miyazaki's ''Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind'' and some anime of its own, including ''Anime/AdventuresOfTheLittleKoala''. Ironically the studio was also used by Toei Animation for outsourcing work on shows like ''Mazinger Z'', and also worked on a number of Creator/TatsunokoProduction shows. In 1984, Miyazaki took 70% of its staff (alongside Toru Hara) and co-founded Creator/StudioGhibli after ''Nausicaä'' was released. Another 10%, including Creator/HideakiAnno, left shortly after to form Creator/StudioGainax. Topcraft closed down in 1985 and the remaining 20% of its staff went to work for Creator/PacificAnimationCorporation. |
| 46 | * Creator/{{Dogakobo}}: Founded in 1973 by Hideo Furusawa and Megumu Ishiguro. It started off as an animation subcontractor, but has since started to work on its own projects, especially in the SchoolgirlSeries genre following the success of ''Manga/YuruYuri''. |
| 47 | * Creator/NakamuraProductions: Indirectly, while officially considered a spin-off of Creator/MushiProductions, itself a spin-off of Toei through Creator/OsamuTezuka. Its founders, Kazuo and Akira Nakamura, would work under Shingo Araki's unit on a few shows before establishing their company in 1974 as a successful animation subcontractor, with Toei as one of their first clients. The studio is better known for its work on Creator/{{Sunrise}} efforts such as ''Anime/CowboyBebop'', the ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' metaseries, and the ''Anime/BraveSeries'' (among many other titles); as well as their work for Toei on ''Sailor Moon'', ''Mazinger Z'', ''[=GoLion=]'', ''The Transformers'' and recent titles ''Tropical Rouge Precure'' and ''Digimon Ghost Game''. |
| 48 | * Creator/{{Shirogumi}}: Founded in 1974, the studio would go on to make a name for itself in the realm of CGI, contributing to titles such as ''Anime/{{Revisions}}'', ''Manga/{{Moyashimon}}'', and ''Film/ShinGodzilla''. |
| 49 | * Creator/TakahashiProduction (aka T2 Studio): Founded in 1977 by Hirokata Takahashi, the studio would start off working with TMS, but eventually would contribute to some modern Toei titles. |
| 50 | * ACC Production: Founded in 1979 by Nobuyuki Sugaya, the company provides photography work for Toei and other studios. It went bankrupt in 2007 after the failure of ''Anime/MusashiGundoh''. |
| 51 | * Creator/StudioZaendou: Founded in 1982 by Yoshio Mukainakano. The studio closed down in 2016 (as announced on their website) and all its staff went on to form MK-ZA. |
| 52 | * Yumeta Company: Founded in 1986 before retiring the name in 2009 to become [[{{Creator/TYO}} TYO Animations]]. The name was revived in 2017 under the studio's current owner Creator/{{Graphinica}}. The studio is best known for its work on ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'' (for Creator/StudioGallop[=/=]Creator/StudioDEEN), ''Animation Runner Kuromi'', and ''Anime/TokyoMewMewNew''. |
| 53 | * Hal Film Maker: Founded in 1993, the name was retired in 2009 when they merged with Yumeta Company to become TYO Animations. |
| 54 | * Creator/DangunPictures: A subcontract studio established in 1994 by former Toei employees. |
| 55 | * Creator/{{Funimation}}: Founded in 1995 by Gen Fukunaga upon moving to the US. Unlike the studios mentioned above, they're mostly a licensee of various anime titles, including several of Toei's. Only very recently, outside of ''Film/ChuckECheeseInTheGalaxy5000'', serving as a co-producer for titles including ''Manga/DimensionW'', ''Manga/FireForce'', ''Literature/CombatantsWillBeDispatched'' and ''Anime/MarsRed''. |
| 56 | * Dandelion Animation Studio: Founded in 2007. |

| 410 | |
| 411 | !! Toei Animation and their works provide examples of: |
| 412 | |
| 413 | * AdaptationDyeJob: Toei has pretty much perfected this trope when it comes to works adapted from popular manga. To list a few examples, [[Manga/DragonBall Bulma]] has her purple hair recolored teal, the brunette [[Manga/YuGiOh Kaiba]] cracks open a can of green dye, and in one rather extreme example (even by Toei's standards), the blonde, light-skinned [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Raoh & Kaioh]] suddenly become AmbiguouslyBrown. If one also includes western projects, [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers Blue Rumble and Red Frenzy]] are a particularly notorious example. What makes this particularly interesting is that nobody knows why they keep doing it; they've never given any official statements on the matter, and there doesn't seem to be any practical benefit to it. |
| 414 | * AllCGICartoon: A couple, Two of them handled in China (One by Imagi Animation Studios and one in Taiwan by Creator/WangFilmProductions (through [=CGCG=])). |
| 415 | * AnimationBump: Happens in any (if not all) of their movies. Naotoshi Shida is one of the most top-tier animators you can idolize for his beautifully fluid animation in One Piece episodes, Dragon Ball episodes including Super, Precure series episodes, or other series produced by Toei. |
| 416 | * CashCowFranchise: '''IN SPADES''', but ''One Piece'', ''Sailor Moon'', ''Dragon Ball'', ''Transformers'', ''Digimon'' and ''Pretty Cure'' are the most prominent. |
| 417 | * {{Filler}}: |
| 418 | ** Very often, especially in ''Manga/DragonBall''. Interestingly, ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' receives more flack for being heavy on filler, even though its methods of [[OvertookTheManga keeping pace with the manga]] were reliant on {{padding}} and inaction sequences with comparatively few filler episodes/arcs. |
| 419 | ** One unique example of this in Toei's work was with ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar''. Because the source material covers nearly twice as much content per chapter as ''Dragon Ball'' and because the anime adaptation started fairly later into the former manga's run, the anime features very little filler compared to some of Toei's other works; however, this was also because season one was roughly '''80%''' filler, to the point where the manga's writer had to step in when things got out of hand. After that, the anime's filler is noticeably few and far-between. |
| 420 | * LimitedAnimation: Fairly common, due to producing [[LongRunners long running series]] (and relatively shorter series during those long runners). The majority of their American projects have this, too. |
| 421 | * LongRunners: Most of the series mentioned either had several incarnations or were continuously going on. |
| 422 | * {{Mascot}}: Pero, the titular character of the company's adaptation of ''Literature/PussInBoots'', serves as their official mascot. |
| 423 | ** That being said; [[Manga/DragonBall Goku]], [[{{Anime/GoLion}} Go]] [[{{Anime/Voltron}} Lion]], Anime/MazingerZ, Anime/CuteyHoney, [[Manga/OnePiece Monkey D. Luffy]], [[Anime/DigimonAdventure Agumon]], Anime/SailorMoon and even (to a much lesser extent) [[Franchise/TransformersGeneration1 Optimus Prime]] are considered to be honorary mascots. |
| 424 | * NoExportForYou: |
| 425 | ** In recent years, Toei Animation has been quite reluctant to license its work for foreign translation or re-release, with ''Sailor Moon'' having being hit particularly hard by this for over a decade until Creator/VizMedia worked out a deal. And they are ''very'' protective of their work, which resulted in not only fansub work being taken down, but also some abridged series based on their anime. |
| 426 | ** A similar situation occurred with the ''[[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers Transformers]]: Scramble City'' OVA. With companies either having to find ways to circumvent it ({{Creator/Sony}} using a commentary track for their release, while Creator/MadmanEntertainment just used a low quality version to bypass the licensing process) or being flat out denied the chance to use it in the case of Creator/ShoutFactory. It's also the reason why ''Manga/TransformersZone'' has never been officially released in the US. Website/TFWikiDotNet has a entire section on their page detailing these issues [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Toei_Animation link here]] |
| 427 | * Main/ProductionPosse: |
| 428 | ** The company was heavily used for work on American cartoons throughout the 80's, particularly by [[Creator/MarvelAnimation Marvel]], [[Creator/DiCEntertainment DiC]], Creator/HannaBarbera, and Creator/RubySpears. |
| 429 | ** Creator/RankinBass had used them in the 60's for a few non-holiday-related works before switching over to Creator/MushiProductions, and later Creator/{{Topcraft}} (the latter of which was founded by ex-Toei staff). |
| 430 | ** For their own works, Toei has used studios like Kagura, Creator/MSJMusashinoProduction, Creator/StudioCarpenter, and Creator/SankoProduction on a regular basis. |
