Odessa Entertainment

Odessa Entertainment Co., Ltd. is a Japanese entertainment company primarily associated with film and anime distribution. The company was established under the name Taki Corporation Inc., or Taki Corporation, before adopting the Odessa Entertainment name. Its documented activities span theatrical or home-entertainment distribution and production-related work across Japanese films, animation, and original video animation titles. The company's catalog indicates a broad licensing and distribution role rather than a single-format studio identity. Its film-related credits include distribution for titles such as Chaos, Nagai Go no Horror Gekijo: Mannequin, Nagai Go no Horror Gekijo: Kirikagami, and Oira Sukeban: Kessen! Pansutō. In animation, it has been credited with distributing or producing a varied group of properties, including Black Jack, Chō Kuse ni Narisō, Hi-sCoool! SeHa Girls, Seikon no Qwaser, Sonic the Hedgehog, Panzer Dragoon, Tama & Friends, and Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer. These credits place the company within Japan's rights, licensing, packaging, and release ecosystem, where a distributor may handle selected titles without owning the underlying intellectual property. Odessa Entertainment also operated or used the Cherry Lips label for some adult-anime productions. Titles associated with that label include Legend of the Wolf Woman, One: True Stories, and Slave Nurses. The Cherry Lips name therefore represents a specialized imprint within the company's historical production and release activities rather than a separate mainstream entertainment category. Publicly available reference material provides limited information about the company's founding date, ownership, headquarters beyond Japan, executives, financial performance, and current operations. Its documented identity is consequently best understood through its credited film and anime work. The available record confirms a Japanese distributor with production credits in selected anime and adult-anime projects, but does not establish a complete current corporate profile or a definitive statement about whether the company remains active.

Odessa Entertainment is a Japanese entertainment company whose documented corporate predecessor was Taki Corporation Inc. The available reference record does not specify the year of establishment, the individuals who founded the business, or the precise date on which the Odessa Entertainment name came into use. It does, however, identify the company as a film distributor and links its history to a portfolio of film, anime, and original video animation activities. The company's distribution work covers both live-action and animated material. Its film credits include Chaos, Nagai Go no Horror Gekijo: Mannequin, Nagai Go no Horror Gekijo: Kirikagami, and Oira Sukeban: Kessen! Pansutō. These entries show an emphasis on handling releases for genre-oriented and Japanese cinema properties. The available information identifies Odessa's role on these titles as distribution, without providing enough detail to determine whether its responsibilities included theatrical booking, home-video publishing, television licensing, or other release functions. In animation, Odessa Entertainment has been associated with both distribution and production. Distribution credits include Black Jack, Chō Kuse ni Narisō, Hi-sCoool! SeHa Girls, Sonic the Hedgehog, Panzer Dragoon, Tama & Friends, and Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer. Production credits include Dragon Knight Gaiden and Seikon no Qwaser. The catalog combines adaptations, game-related properties, established character brands, and original video animation projects, suggesting that the company participated in multiple parts of Japan's anime licensing and release market rather than concentrating on one franchise family. A further part of the company's historical activity was conducted under the Cherry Lips label. Some adult-anime productions were released through that imprint, including Legend of the Wolf Woman, One: True Stories, and Slave Nurses. The label gave the company a distinct outlet for specialized adult animation and separated those releases from its broader film and anime distribution identity. The public record supplied for this dossier is limited. It does not establish a reliable founding year, ownership structure, current executives, financial results, current website, or confirmed present-day operating status. It also does not provide a detailed chronology of corporate reorganizations, acquisitions, or major strategic decisions. Accordingly, Odessa Entertainment's documented history is most securely described through its change from the Taki Corporation name, its distribution credits, its selected anime production credits, and its use of the Cherry Lips label.
