## Biography[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Shuka&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Biography")]
It was founded in June 2013, a result of separation of 3rd subsidiary production department of animation studio [Brain's Base](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain%27s_Base "wikipedia:Brain's Base") (ブレインズ･ベース). Hence, the founder of it was its former manager, named Yumi Sato (佐藤 由美).
According to their contract on animation work of *[Durarara!! x2](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ja:%E3%83%87%E3%83%A5%E3%83%A9%E3%83%A9%E3%83%A9!!_(%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A1) "wikipedia:ja:デュラララ!! (アニメ)")* (デュラララ!!×2 承), they began to produce the animation of the 2nd season of the anime - in which Brain's Base had produced the 1st season of it. After that, the studio has been regularly taking over some animation works formerly produced by Brain's Base; yet the animators working on them were essentially the same, just under different studio names.
In 2016, they released their first original animation titled *[91 Days](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/91_Days "wikipedia:91 Days")*.
The ending credit of *Natsume's Book of Friends S6* episode 9.
Note that this studio is currently independent of the original studio, but they have also taken over the anime production of the anime *[Natsume's Book of Friends](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natsume%27s_Book_of_Friends "wikipedia:Natsume's Book of Friends")* (夏目友人帳), starting season 5. However, according to many fans watching that series, the quality of animation decreased sharply after the production studio changed to Shuka; numerous unsteady and collapsed frames thus emerged. Which also led to pervasive outsourcing and some weird company choices, this became a recurrent issue mainly in season 6 - simultaneously resulted in the president of [Studio Leo](/wiki/Studio_Leo "Studio Leo"), [Sumito Sasaki](/wiki/Sumito_Sasaki "Sumito Sasaki"), to step in and serve as episode director in some episodes. Obviously, V1 Studio from [TMS Entertainment](/wiki/TMS_Entertainment "TMS Entertainment") also worked on the 9th episode of season 6, having some notable TMS key animators present, such as [Yasuichiro Yamamoto](/wiki/Yasuichiro_Yamamoto "Yasuichiro Yamamoto"), [Chiemi Hironaka](/wiki/Chiemi_Hironaka "Chiemi Hironaka") etc.
By reason of the aid from V1 Studio in this episode, in return, Studio Shuka temporarily decided to produce episode 890 of the *Detective Conan* [anime](/wiki/Anime "Anime"). Precisely, a veteran animator from *Detective Conan* - [Atsushi Aono](/wiki/Atsushi_Aono "Atsushi Aono"), frequently worked for Shuka (at that time he had already quit the *Detective Conan* production for many years). Owing to Aono's long-term experience as animation director and key animator for *Detective Conan*, Shuka requested Aono to delegate the studio and serve as animation director.
