Fusion of Hollywood-standard production expertise and AI-era workflow. VFX studio "SEN PICTURES Inc." established with an eye on the global market.

SEN PICTURES Inc. (Headquarters: 5-10-6 Seijo, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director CEO: Takateru Izaki; Director CFO&CHRO: Tetsuo Naraha) announced its establishment on January 21, 2026.

SEN PICTURES is a next-generation CG/VFX studio that aims to achieve both quality and productivity by combining production expertise cultivated in top-tier North American VFX production sites with insights into management and organizational transformation. This is achieved through Hollywood-standard production design, global-level management, and the utilization of advanced technologies including AI. We will connect Japan's high creative power to a production foundation that is competitive in the global market.

Background of Establishment
As the importance of visual expression grows, production sites are increasingly required to respond to speed, quality, security, and international collaboration. With technological advancements, including generative AI, the environment surrounding CG/VFX production is undergoing significant changes.

Despite Japan having many highly skilled creators who are globally competitive, the production systems, organizational design, and global-standard pipelines to maximize their potential are not yet fully established.

To address these challenges, SEN PICTURES aims to build a new production foundation that connects Japan and the world, through world-class production expertise, Hollywood-level quality, transparent organizational design, and the implementation of new workflows including AI.

Furthermore, with an eye on global projects, we will proceed with the development of a production environment and operational system that also considers North American-standard governance and security requirements.

Three Features of SEN PICTURES
1. Production Design Based on World-Class Production Expertise
Based on knowledge cultivated in top North American studios, we will establish production design and project management that anticipates everything from planning to delivery. We emphasize supporting high-quality video production as a reproducible system, not solely dependent on individual talent.

2. Implementation of New Workflows Adapted to the AI Era
Instead of treating AI merely as a means of efficiency, we will utilize it in practical operations, considering quality, copyright, and ethics, aiming to achieve both productivity improvement and creativity. SEN PICTURES emphasizes the design and operation for appropriately integrating advanced technology into the field.

3. Organization and Management that Unleash Creators' Potential
We prioritize transparency, fairness, and growth support, fostering an environment where creators can perform at their best. Utilizing insights from HR and organizational management of world-leading companies, we aim to build a sustainable production system.

Future Project Areas
SEN PICTURES plans to handle video projects requiring high-end VFX/CG, production projects based on international collaboration, and projects that demand new workflow designs utilizing advanced technology.

Comments from Founding Members
Representative Director CEO Takateru Izaki
"I have been involved in both production and management in the Canadian VFX production scene for over 15 years. I have served as CG Supervisor for numerous Hollywood productions, including the live-action Netflix series 'ONE PIECE' and 'Avatar: The Last Airbender.' I am confident that by combining the world-standard production schemes cultivated on the front lines with the power of Japanese creators, we can compete globally even from Tokyo. At SEN PICTURES, we will not only pursue the quality of our works but also build an environment where creators can maximize their potential."

Director CFO&CHRO Tetsuo Naraha
"Through my experience in corporate reform and growth support for various companies, large and small, including Benesse, McKinsey, Goldman Sachs, Sanyo Electric, M3, Itochu, and Yanase, both Japanese and foreign-affiliated, I have confronted the strengths and weaknesses of Japanese companies. Excellent creativity is sustainably born only on an excellent system. At SEN PICTURES, we will build a business foundation to connect the passion of Japanese creators to the global stage."
