Date: 5/10/2006
TMS Entertainment has announced it will move it's Japanese corporate headquarters from Nagoya to Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo. Tokyo Movie and Tokyo Movie Shinsa first established their anime business center in Suginami Ward, Tokyo in 1964. The move allows main corporate body to be physically closer to their animation arm, still located in Suginami today. Animation represent 2/3 of all company sales at present. TMS made Nagoya their HQ home in 1995 after amalgamating with fiber company Kyokuichi. The company later withdrew from the fiber business, changing the name of the company from Kyokuichi Kyokuichi Tokyo Movie Shinsha to TMS Entertainment, turing the corporate focus to entertainment. The company is currently listed on the Nagoya Stock Exchange and it's not clear if they will change their listing to a Tokyo echange with the move.
