# Shirogumi

Shirogumi Inc. (Japanese: 株式会社白組, Hepburn: Kabushiki-gaisha Shirogumi, lit. 'White Team Co., Ltd.') is a company centralized in the production of animated series and feature films, as well as the making and adjusting of visual effects. 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.
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.
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.
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.
