Telecom Animation Film

テレコム・アニメーションフィルム

As an affiliate of Tokyo Movie (now known as TMS Entertainment), Telecom Animation Film, Co., Ltd. was founded on May 19, 1975, to produce full-length animated theatrical films.
Leading animators, including Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, and Yasuo Otsuka, joined the studio and helped establish the Golden Age of the Japanese animation industry.
Yasuo Otsuka continues to work at Telecom as a supervisor and as the Juku Master of Anime Juku, mentoring young animators who will lead the next generation.
Telecom is currently thriving, with top-tier veteran animators such as Kazuhide Tomonaga, Nobuo Tomizawa, Toshihiko Masuda, and Yuichiro Yano leading production and consistently delivering high-quality animated works.
The studio is renowned for its delicate and heartwarming animation style, produced in a facility where development, animation, ink and paint, and filming are all handled in one location.
