Amidst major restructuring of Toho in 1970, the company's Art Department, which had been established the same year as a replacement for the Art Division of their Production Department, was incorporated as its own company, Toho Bijutsu Co., Ltd. (東宝美術株式会社 Tōhō Bijutsu Kabushiki Gaisha, lit. "Toho Art Co., Ltd."), presided over by Kazuo Nishino. A year later, another short-lived department, the Video Department, was also separately incorporated as Toho Eizo Co., Ltd. (東宝映像株式会社 Tōhō Eizō Kabushiki Gaisha, lit.

Toho Eizo, which was partially composed of personnel from Toho's defunct Special Technology Division, was placed in charge of creating special effects films for its parent company, while yet another subsidiary, Toho Pictures, would handle all other films. Godzilla vs. Hedorah, which finished shooting about a month before Toho Eizo's formation, was the final tokusatsu film for which Toho produced the effects themselves. Toho and Toho Eizo collaborated on the next Godzilla film, Godzilla vs. Gigan, with the latter shooting the effects.
