Toei Company, Ltd. (東映株式会社 Tōei Kabushiki-gaisha), also referred to as TOEI, is a Japanese film, television production, and distribution corporation formed in 1951 as a successor to Toyoko Eiga Company., Ltd (of which the name Toei originates from).
Based in Tokyo, Toei owns and operates thirty-four movie theaters across Japan, studios at Tokyo and Kyoto; and is a shareholder in several television companies. It is notable for anime, many live action dramas known as tokusatsu, and Jidaigeki historical dramas. However, Toei is perhaps well-known as the producer and distributor of the Kamen Rider and Super Sentai series, having done so alongside Ishimori Productions.
