Shin-Ei Animation

Shin-Ei Animation
is a Japanese animation studio owned by TV Asahi and founded in Tokyo in 1965 as A-Production by Daikichirō Kusube, who was previously an animator for Toei Animation and a successor of both former Asahi Eigasha that was founded in 1936 and Shin-Asahi Eigasha that was founded in 1938. Shin-Ei is known for being the animation studio behind two of the anime television series: Doraemon and Crayon Shin-chan, which still run on Japanese TV since 1979 and 1992 respectively.
