CyberAgent announced today, October 1st, the establishment of Studio Kurm, a new anime production studio. Maiko Okada, an experienced anime producer, will serve as president.
Starting January 2026, Yoshimichi Kameda, the animator behind the character designs of Mob Psycho 100 and the alien and yokai designs of DAN DA DAN, will join the team as a creative representative.
In February 2024, CyberAgent launched its Anime & IP Business Headquarters, focusing on IP development, anime planning, and production. The company has built a comprehensive business model aimed at the global market, integrating advertising, publicity, merchandise creation, and other merchandising functions.
With the recent expansion of the anime market, the number of projects has increased and production environments have become more complex. To provide talented young creators with a space to thrive, offer fair recognition, and explore new forms of anime expression, CyberAgent has established Studio Kurm.
On the occasion of the studio’s launch, Maiko Okada, President and CEO, commented:
“Studio Kurm is not just an anime production company, but a team of the best to build a sustainable creative system and take Japan’s anime culture to the next level.”
