Enoki Films

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Enoki Films is a producer of anime based in Tokyo.

Enoki Films also has a North American division headquartered in the Encino area of Los Angeles, California called "Enoki Films USA". Enoki Films USA acts as a middle-man between Japanese companies and American licensors such as 4Kids Entertainment and Saban. Of note is that some of the anime productions they list on their website are under alternate names that bear little resemblence to their original Japanese titles. In many cases, when sub-licsensed to anime home video companies, the original titles have been restored.
