Toho International, Inc.[2] is an American company that is a subsidiary of Japanese film company Toho Co., Ltd.[3][4][5] Founded in May 1953, the company was initially created to sell films by Toho in North and South America; amongst their first features to export overseas were Seven Samurai and Godzilla (both 1954).[5] Toho International currently manages the licensing, marketing, and distribution of Toho's movies and other products.[6] It is headquartered in Los Angeles.
On October 1, 2023, Toho International became also owned by a newly founded subsidiary of Toho, known as Toho Global.[7] In December 2023, the company announced its intent to acquire a 25% stake in Fifth Season, majority-owned by CJ ENM, for $225 million.[8] Earlier that year, Toho International announced it had acquired 50% stakes in Frederator Networks animated series Bee and PuppyCat, Bravest Warriors, and Bravest Warriors spinoff Catbug.[9]
