Studio Moriken

Studio Moriken (株式会社スタジオモリケン) is a Japanese animation production studio based in Koto, Tokyo, founded in August 2009 and led by representative Kenshiro Morii. The studio describes itself as an animation studio that specializes mainly in short anime, and its business scope covers video content production — animation and video editing — as well as manga and illustration production. Studio Moriken's output is closely tied to the short-form and spin-off side of Japanese pop culture. It has produced mini-anime and C-part segments for television series, music videos and jacket illustrations for rhythm and adventure games, and web or social-media anime tied to major franchises. Notable credits shown on its official site include the four-panel manga segment for the final season of Attack on Titan, the C-part animation for The Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy, the music video for the BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! song 'Saikyou☆Song', the web anime MyGO!!!!! Members' Daily Life, the Twitter anime Golden Douga Gekijou for Golden Kamuy, and the TV anime Jantama☆PONG, for which Morii served as director and Yui Soshi as character designer. The studio frequently works with director Kenshiro Morii and character designer Yui Soshi, and it collaborates with rights holders and production committees across manga, games, and music properties. Its official site notes that it is not currently accepting in-between and second-key animation requests, indicating a focus on its own production and planning work rather than subcontracting drawing. As a small, privately held studio, Studio Moriken does not disclose financial details or a parent company. Its identity is built around short-form comedy and spin-off animation, character design, and illustration for established Japanese media brands.

Studio Moriken was established in August 2009 in Koto, Tokyo, Japan, with Kenshiro Morii as its representative. From its founding, the studio positioned itself around short-form animation, an area that has grown alongside web distribution, social media, and the spin-off content strategies of major Japanese franchises. Over the following decade, Studio Moriken built a portfolio of mini-anime, C-part segments, music videos, and web animations tied to well-known properties. Its official site highlights work such as the four-panel manga segment for Attack on Titan: The Final Season, the C-part animation for The Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy, the music video for the BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! song 'Saikyou☆Song', the web anime MyGO!!!!! Members' Daily Life, the Twitter anime Golden Douga Gekijou for Golden Kamuy, and the TV anime Jantama☆PONG. In several of these, Morii served as director and Yui Soshi as character designer, showing a recurring creative core. The studio's business scope covers video content production — animation and video editing — as well as manga and illustration production. It works with production committees and rights holders across manga, games, and music, and its official site notes that it is not currently accepting in-between and second-key animation requests, suggesting a focus on its own planning and production rather than subcontract drawing. As a privately held company, Studio Moriken does not publicly disclose financial results, ownership structure, or a parent company. Its history is therefore best traced through its production credits and its continued activity as a short-form animation specialist.
