Yumeta Company

Yumeta Company is a Japanese animation production studio established in 1990. The company has worked on animated television series, original video animations, original net animations, and theatrical films, generally operating within Japan’s production-committee and subcontracting-oriented anime industry rather than presenting itself primarily as a consumer-facing entertainment brand. Its work is therefore associated with animation production, studio collaboration, and the delivery of individual projects across several formats. The studio underwent a significant corporate change in 2009. On July 1 of that year, Yumeta Company absorbed Hal Film Maker and adopted the name TYO Animations Inc. The reorganization brought the two animation businesses under a common corporate identity and made TYO Animations the name used for the combined operation for approximately eight years. During this period, the studio continued to be identified with Japanese animated productions across television, video, online, and film formats. A second major transition occurred in late 2017. Memory Tech Holdings announced on December 1 that it had acquired TYO Animations and would place it under Graphinica, another animation company in the group. As part of that transaction and organizational realignment, the corporate name reverted to Yumeta Company. The change restored the studio’s historical identity while placing it within a larger animation-oriented corporate structure. Public reference material identifies Yumeta Company as continuing as an animation studio, but provides limited information about its current executive team, detailed production slate, finances, or standalone commercial operations.

Yumeta Company was formed in Japan in 1990 as an animation production company. Its business has encompassed multiple forms of Japanese animation, including television series, OVAs, ONAs, and films. Available reference material does not provide a detailed account of the studio’s founding personnel, initial ownership, early productions, or financial development, so the company’s early history is best understood through its role as an animation-production entity rather than through a documented sequence of named corporate or creative leaders. The studio’s most consequential early corporate development came in 2009, when Yumeta Company absorbed Hal Film Maker. The transaction took effect on July 1, 2009, and the combined company was renamed TYO Animations Inc. The new name, written in Japanese as TYO Animations, was used from 2009 through 2017. This change represented an organizational consolidation of animation capabilities and placed the business under a different corporate identity while preserving its involvement in Japanese animated production. On December 1, 2017, Memory Tech Holdings announced that it had acquired TYO Animations. The announcement also stated that TYO Animations would become a subsidiary of Graphinica, an animation company associated with Memory Tech Holdings, and that the company’s name would return to Yumeta Company. The reversion marked the end of the TYO Animations naming period and restored the studio’s earlier identity within a new group structure. Reference material describes Yumeta Company as continuing as a Japanese animation studio after the 2017 transaction. However, the available information does not establish a complete current production catalogue, a current list of officers, a standalone website URL, or detailed ownership percentages and financial results. Its documented corporate trajectory is therefore defined primarily by its 1990 establishment, the 2009 absorption of Hal Film Maker and renaming as TYO Animations, and the 2017 acquisition and return to the Yumeta Company name.
