Culture Connect Co., Ltd.

Vision

Building Global Visual IP, Starting with Animation

Culture Connect is a strategic business partner specializing in animation-led visual intellectual property.
We work with studios and IP holders to help visual content grow beyond borders, formats, and markets—into sustainable global IP.

Animation is at the core of our expertise.
At the same time, we support a broader range of visual content, partnering across the entire IP lifecycle from early planning to international expansion.

Philosophy

We Don't Act as Brokers.

We Build Alignment.

At Culture Connect, we do not simply connect parties or facilitate transactions.
We work inside projects as a strategic business partner, aligning creative vision, production realities, and commercial structures across Japan and global markets.

In cross-border animation and visual content projects, misalignment—between creators, studios, licensors, and markets—is often the greatest barrier to long-term IP success.

Our role is to resolve that complexity and create shared direction among all stakeholders.
We believe long-term IP value is built through alignment, trust, and continuous collaboration.

Who We Are

Culture Connect partners with animation studios, producers, and IP holders who aim to develop their content internationally.

Our strength lies in:

  • Deep understanding of Japanese animation production culture, including 2D hand-drawn workflows
  • Practical experience in global licensing, merchandising, and rights coordination
  • The ability to work bi-directionally, supporting both Japanese IP expanding overseas and international IP collaborating with Japan

We are not a service provider operating at arm's length.
We act as a long-term partner, involved in strategy, decision-making, and execution.
