Tsuburaya Productions (円谷プロダクション,,   Tsuburaya Purodakushons) is a production company and special effects studio founded by the late tokusatsu wizard Eiji Tsuburaya and is now run by his family.

History

Tsuburaya Productions was formed in 1963 by the special-effects wizard Eiji Tsuburaya, so that he was able to work on side projects alongside his special effect work for Toho. In 1966, the company produced its most famous creation, Ultraman, which went on to create an entire franchise that continues to the present day. When Eiji died in 1970, the studio was transferred to his family, who continue to run the studio to this day. Bandai currently owns several substantial shares in the studio after it fell into financial difficulties in the 1980s, and the toy company is responsible for producing merchandise for each show that the studio makes.
