ウィットスタジオ

Wit Studio, Inc., stylized as WIT Studio, is a Japanese animation studio established on June 1, 2012, by producers from Production I.G as a subsidiary of IG Port. The studio is headquartered in Musashino, Tokyo, with George Wada, a producer at Production I.G, serving as president, and Tetsuya Nakatake, also a producer at Production I.G, acting as a director.
The studio was founded in 2012 by George Wada, a former employee of Production I.G. Following its establishment, Tetsuya Nakatake was appointed as the representative director. Several other former Production I.G staff members joined Wit after its founding, including animation directors Kyōji Asano and Satoshi Kadowaki, and director Tetsurō Araki, all of whom had previously worked together on Attack on Titan.
Wit Studio received an initial capital investment of ¥30,000,000 from IG Port, Wada, and Nakatake, who are reported to own 66.6%, 21.6%, and 10.0% equity in the studio, respectively.
In December 2020, Wit Studio set up a stop-motion studio in partnership with Tomoki Misato, the director of Pui Pui Molcar.
In May 2022, Wit Studio, in partnership with Aniplex, CloverWorks, and Shueisha, formed a new company named JOEN. The company's objective is to facilitate the planning and production of television anime series, anime films, and short clips.
