Establishment

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

The company has since expanded, currently consisting of two separate branches and the Suginami branch: Liden Films Kyoto Studio (Japanese: ライデンフィルム京都スタジオ, Hepburn: Raiden Firumu Kyōto Sutajio), founded in 2015, and Liden Films Osaka Studio (Japanese: ライデンフィルム大阪スタジオ, Hepburn: Raiden Firumu Ōsaka Sutajio), founded in 2013. Both companies originally served as in-between companies for the head Suginami branch, but eventually in 2016, the Kyoto Studio animated its own series, and in 2020 the Osaka Studio did the same.
