ABOUT
Inspired by the story of life, which begins and ends with “turns and turns,” our company name is made up of two one-stroke kanji characters “﹅” .
“﹅” is a “dot” that marks the end of a sentence, and also represents the pictograph of a flame, “torch.”
We want to be a company that connects various dots, such as video and culture, and people and people.
Documentaries, dramas, TV, movies, the web, real life, Japan, Asia, the world…
We create new expressions through unique planning and imagination, transcending genres, media, and borders.

He is a jack of all trades and master of none, moving from one factory to another, making works in a variety of genres, including documentaries, information variety shows, and dramas.
