After four months, he established the **New Toho Film Factory** on March 25, 1947 (Showa 22) . Kunio Watanabe YaTorajiro Saito and his directors have also moved to Shintoho.

In each case, Toho distributed the program and filled the Toho program, which was made impossible due to the dispute.

### Shin Toho

Officially established as Shintoho Co. , Ltd. on April 25, 1948 ( 1948 )  , Shozaburo Sao , who is the former director of Toho Sales Department and "God of distribution", was appointed.

The new company seemed to support Toho during and immediately after the Toho dispute in the form of "production by New Toho, distribution by Toho", but soon after that Toho began independent production after the dispute subsided. President Toshio Sao of the new Toho, which has been removed from the ladder, announced that it will start voluntary distribution, and found out Toho and Kaoru. At the same time, as an affiliate of Korakuen Stadium (now Tokyo Dome ), Toho has not raised its investment, but it will be an independent film production and distribution company from Toho. However, although he was preparing to establish Shintoho Distribution Co., Ltd. in order to release " Private Penalty " directed by Nobuo Nakagawa in 1948 as the first of his own distribution works , Toho stopped the establishment of Shintoho Distribution Co., Ltd. in a court. The start of voluntary distribution was postponed to 1949 the following day because of the application and acceptance of provisional disposition  . Since then, many literary works and works with an urban sense have been announced, but profitability continues.

### Appearance of Mitsugu Okura

1955 (1955), based on benshi in, singer - Toshiro Omi Tokyo of the major movie box office main, which is known as the brother of Mitsugu Finance has issued an opinion on the attendance and management as a shareholder in the new Toho of the general shareholders' meeting .. New Toho major shareholder of in this Korakuen Sutadjiamu president, of Toho President Kazumi Kobayashi "Kanto entertainment world of Don" the eye has been in the half - brother of Tanabe SoEi is tuned. Okura is greeted by the president, and effectively buys Shin Toho. There is also a view that Toho had a considerable influence on this point. He recalled the early-shooting master Kunio Watanabe, who had already been transferred to Toei at that time , and has become a director.

The measures taken by Okura here are "cheap, fast, and interesting", and Okura has also established a management one-man system. A poster of the slogan "One test, high production" was posted at the studio. 1957 (Showa 32), directed by Kunio Watanabe and starring Hirotoshi Arashi , " Emperor Meiji and the Great Russo-Japanese War " was an unprecedented hit, but due to a weak distribution network, it has an advantage in the theaters of other companies. I was burned. Before this, there were talks of mergers and integrations with other companies several times, including reintegration with Toho, but each time, it ended in a slump due to opposition from shareholders and battle for leadership after the merger. Meanwhile, young stars such as Ken Utsui , Shigeru Tenchi , Teruo Yoshida , Bunta Sugawara and Yoko Mihara struggled .

Shintoho's "Erogro" route refers to a group of works of sensual glamor actresses such as Michiko Maeda , Yoko Mihara , and Masayo Mari . Many will be gather support person in music in the nickname of "ChuAkira sound" since the 1970s Michiaki Watanabe , masters after the shooting King Hu (Kin Fu) and Bruce Lee supported the Tadashi Nishimoto , excellence Although it had an excellent staff such as an art team with the technology, it was not evaluated fairly in the history of film. The director is Nobuo Nakagawa, a master who remained alone in the prewar era, but as a special case, there are young men with high sense such as Tomoyoshi Doi , Nagayoshi Akasaka , Yusuke Watanabe, and Teruo Ishii who builds the eroglo gold mark in Toei later is also modernism at this time. It was a faction. The actress is familiar with Saburo Kawamoto 's book "Kimimi Wakushiku".

In February 1958, the company name was changed to New Toho Co., Ltd.  .

In the same year, Director Watanabe left the company again. Due to Okura's self-righteous one-man constitution, the hit maker Toshio Shimura and star Michiko Maeda also left, and the business performance deteriorated sharply thereafter. In 1959 (Showa 34), Naoko Kubo and Tomisaburo Wakayama transferred to Toei. Even in the late 1950s of the golden age of Japanese movies, which was said to have attracted customers as long as they made a movie, only the Toho movie theaters were snarling.

With the arrival of the TV era, Okura plans to merge with Daini Toei , but the negotiations have broken down. On December 1, 1960, Okura was forced to resign due to a strike by the union. However, the reconstruction plan after that was vacant, and Shin-Toho Co., Ltd. went bankrupt on the end of August 1961 (Showa 36). Broadcasting rights for 554 feature films were sold to NHK and commercial broadcasters in July just before bankruptcy, and since then, they have been broadcast during the daytime hours for several years  . Along with this, the six-company agreement of the movie companies collapsed, resulting in a five-company agreement.

### After bankruptcy

After the bankruptcy, Shintoho Co., Ltd. became a liquidation company, and the distribution department of the company was separated , and the distribution company Daiho Co. , Ltd. was established on September 1st of the same year . On November 15 of the same year , the production department was separated and the Nippon Art Film Company (NAC) was established. Shin-Toho Co., Ltd. was divided into three parts and it was decided to aim for business reconstruction.

The distribution company, Daiho, had just distributed five bottles, and on January 10, 1962 (Showa 37) the following day , the business was suspended and the company went bankrupt. Production company NAC succeeded in rebuilding its management after embarking on television movie production with the capital participation of TBS and Fuji TV . In 1964 (Showa 39), it changed its trade name to International Broadcasting Co. , Ltd. .. International Broadcasting is a part of the former "Shin Toho Film Studio" and a successor company that inherits all the rights of Shin Toho's works. Once the company, Hankyu Toho Group (now Hankyu Hanshin Toho Group in one company of), JASDAQ but there was a listed company, Toho of TOB is a wholly-owned subsidiary in, 2011 February 14, was delisted in.

Most of the "Shintoho Film Studio" in Kinuta , Setagaya-ku, Tokyo was sold to Nihon University and became the campus of the Faculty of Commerce , and the rest was taken over by international broadcasting and became the company's TV movie production base. .. Since the 1990s, video shooting of information programs has become the mainstream rather than television movies, so it was rebuilt and renamed Tokyo Media City .

See " International Broadcast " for details

Otokura, who was chased by Shintoho, has transferred " Shintoho No. 2 Film Studio " (previously Tokyo Vocal Movie Studio ) located in Sakura , Setagaya-ku, to his own wholly-owned " Fuji Film " while he was president. It was Fuji movies fit into Okura's hands as they are, and the current Okura movies were made with the company as the mother body, and apart from these, a box office company and a distribution company that were previously owned by the company were merged . The Okura Movie Studio was closed in 1974 (Showa 49), and the site is Okura Land , a comprehensive entertainment facility .
