Science SARU

サイエンスSARU

Director Masaaki Yuasa and his long-time collaborator Eun-Young Choi established the animation studio Science SARU (Science SARU Inc.) in 2013 during the production of "Food Chain," which served as the 163rd episode of the American animated series Adventure Time. The series' host cable network, Cartoon Network, required a credited studio for the episode's animation, prompting the formation of Science SARU out of necessity.
Since its founding, Science SARU has served as the base for Yuasa's films and series. Starting in 2021, the studio has also welcomed other directors: Choi directed "Akakiri," the ninth episode of Disney's Star Wars: Visions, while award-winning director Naoko Yamada helmed the anime series Heike Monogatari (The Heike Story).
Choi currently serves as the studio's president and CEO, having taken over these positions from Yuasa after he stepped down in March 2020.
