Establishment

Liden Films was founded on February 22, 2012, and, shortly after, joined joint-holding company Ultra Super Pictures, alongside studios Sanzigen, Trigger, and Ordet.[2] The company is currently represented by Tetsurou Satomi.[1]

The company has since expanded, currently consisting of five separate branches and the Suginami branch: Liden Films Kyoto Studio (ライデンフィルム京都スタジオ, Raiden Firumu Kyōto Sutajio), founded in 2015; Liden Films Osaka Studio (ライデンフィルム大阪スタジオ, Raiden Firumu Ōsaka Sutajio), founded in 2013; two Tokyo Studios, Liden Films Tokyo 1st Studio (ライデンフィルム東京第一スタジオ, Raiden Firumu Tōkyō Dai Ichi Sutajio) and Liden Films Tokyo 2nd Studio (ライデンフィルム東京第二スタジオ, Raiden Firumu Tōkyō Dai Ni Sutajio);[3] and Liden Films Fukuya Studio (ライデンフィルム深谷スタジオ, Raiden Firumu Fukuya Sutajio), founded in 2018. In 2016, the Kyoto Studio produced its own series, and in 2020 the Osaka Studio did the same.[4]
