is a Japanese film distributor, production company and dubbing studio based in Akasaka, Minato, Tokyo. It was founded in 1961 by Banjirō Uemura (who was also once the head of the Japanese branch of ITC Entertainment) as a dubbing house for foreign films; members of the Uemura family continue as its largest shareholders.
The company name "Tohokushinsha" comes from the Shiki Theatre Company, which was made by founder Uemura from Higashitakizawa Village.
History On April 6, 1961, Banjirō Uemura established the company following the split of Tohoku Publishing and transferred the company, which continue to dub and license foreign television films into Japanese.
In 1971, Tokohushinsha started the video editing and post-production business. It later acquired shares of National Bussan, a supermarket operator in Azabu. In partnership with Nippon Sunrise, they established the anime and film production conglomerate Shōeisha (later Cente Studio) to handle anime production.
In 1976, Tohokushinsha broke down after a conflict with Nippon Sunrise, which the company had spun off into a fully-owned Nippon Sunrise, Inc. (now Bandai Namco Filmworks), changing its name.
In 1984, Tohokushinsha started the CG production business.
