Masayuki Ozaki, who is also known for serving as producer on the anime “TIGER & BUNNY,” has founded a new company called “Creadom8,” which focuses on planning and producing short anime and characters, and has announced that the company will begin operations on October 8, 2024.
Ozaki, a former director of Sunrise and former representative director of Bandai Namco Pictures, has worked on such titles as “TIGER & BUNNY,” “Sergeant Keroro,” “The Incredible Zorori,” “Battle Spirits,” “Aikatsu!,” “ClassicaLoid,” “Dream Festival!,” and “BIRDIE WING.”
The new company name “Creadom” is a coined word that combines the roots of words such as “create” and “creative” with the suffix “-dom” (examples: fandom, freedom, kingdom). The number “8” represents the auspicious meaning of spreading out at the end and the desire for a bond that leads to “∞ (infinity).”
The new company was established to meet the growing demand for short films, especially among young people, and will focus on short animations such as short dramas, music videos, and corporate commercials. The company will focus on strengthening business with clients not only in Japan, but also overseas. The company also plans to create characters in conjunction with short animations and expand content in the global market through merchandising.
In the future, the company hopes to utilize new fundraising schemes such as content funds to connect investors and creators around the world while providing appropriate returns to production sites, thereby contributing to the creation of a sustainable production ecosystem.
In addition, the company will also operate a YouTube channel called “Masayuki Ozaki’s Anime Channel” as part of its public relations activities. In addition to disseminating information about the anime business, the channel will also invite various guests, mainly executives and creators from the entertainment industry, to hold valuable talks. The future development of Creadom8’s business will be closely watched.
