Studio Kajino
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Studio Kajino is a subsidiary of Japanese production company Studio Ghibli. It was created prior to 2000 to handle live action films for the studio (though it did 3 animated music videos for the J-pop group, capsule), which is otherwise known for its animation projects, including the award-winning Spirited Away. Kajino is run by Ghibli's president Toshio Suzuki, and its first release was Shiki-Jitsu in 2000.
The name of the studio appears to be based on or inspired by Ghibli's postal address (which is or was 1-4-25, Kajino-cho, Koganei-shi, 184 according to the Nausicaa.net fan site, and recently confirmed more specifically at Tokyo 184-0002 on the Asian Films site).
