Actas Inc. (株式会社アクタス, Kabushiki gaisha Akutasu) is a Japanese animation studio founded in 1998. It is currently a subsidiary of Bandai Namco Arts, which in turn is a subsidiary to Bandai Namco Holdings. [1]

History

Actas was founded on July 6, 1998 by Hiroshi Katō and Jūtarō Ōba, who previously worked for Tatsunoko Production and Ashi Productions. [2]

In 2000, Kōsuke Fujishima's manga éX-Driver became the first anime production by the studio with éX-Driver The Movie, the first anime film. The first TV series was Pachislo Kizoku Gin in 2001, where Actas appeared as a producer and not as an animation studio, so the first TV series, where the studio was responsible for the animations, appeared with Transformers: Armada in 2002.

Following Katō's death in 2009, Shunpei Maruyama was named the new company president. The studio also had a subsidiary animation studio Karaku, but Actas merged it with the main company in July 2017.

In September of 2017, Bandai Visual has announced that it had acquired Actas [3].

The company owned a subsidiary studio named Karaku up until August 31, 2017, when it was merged with the main Actas studio.
