About AOKIstudio

A word from the founders of the 3D animation studio

Friends, colleagues and fans of animation,

AOKIstudio is celebrating 25 years of experience and creativity in the field of animation and special effects this year.
AOKIstudio was, 25 years ago, and remains today, one of the few foreign animation studios in Japan.
25 years of trust with our Japanese partners and customers, 25 years of working with talented artists from all over the world and Japanese producers who are in tune with market trends and demand.

Our ability to adapt, our curiosity and the particular importance we attach to artistic direction and the originality of our visual universes have led us to experiment and produce quality projects in a wide range of fields of 3D animation, from the original films dedicated to architectural visualisation and advertising to more recent projects such as art installations, smartphone applications, virtual reality, augmented reality and metaverse projects.
This capacity continues to enable us to respond to demands and needs in the face of new challenges and constantly evolving technologies.

We're grateful for every opportunity and every project we've done together.
Thank you to all those who have been part of this adventure, and let's continue together to experiment with new techniques and explore new artistic worlds.

With all our gratitude,
Makiko Aoki, Shigehiro Suwa, Bruno Pellier, Olivier and Christophe Defaye
