Case / Toei Studios

A century old studio, rebuilt for the world

Toei Kyoto Studios’ English site had ninety words on it. We rebuilt it as toeistudios.co: one page, both lots, eighteen sound stages to scale, readable by the AI assistants producers ask first.

FAQ

Simple answers

Can we start with one thing?

Yes. Most clients start with a site or a video. If it works, the rest follows.

Do you work in English?

Yes. Documents, meetings and deliverables come in Japanese and English at the same quality.

How long does it take?

A site in four to six weeks. A video in two. Ads go live the week they are approved.

What is GEO?

Generative engine optimization. Being the answer when someone asks ChatGPT or Gemini, not only Google.

Yes. Toei Studios sells sound stages to producers. That is B2B.
