HORNETS

ホーネッツ

HORNETS (HORNETS Inc.) is a Japanese animation studio located in Koganei, Tokyo, Japan. The company was founded in December 2013 by former SynergySP staff members under the leadership of Masanobu Hatta, who served as the animation producer for Major (2008-2012) and Beast Saga. The studio's name draws inspiration from the fictional baseball team, the Indiana Hornets, featured in Takuya Mitsuda's manga series Major.
Between December 2013 and August 2016, HORNETS maintained a photography department. This department was formed when SynergySP transferred its own photography division to HORNETS in December 2013. In August 2016, the photography department was spun off into a separate entity known as Tplus, Inc.
