Remow

Remow Co., Ltd. (Japanese: REMOW株式会社, Hepburn: Remow Kabushiki-gaisha) is a Japanese media company headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo. The company was founded in late 2021, and specializes in the global distribution, production, and intellectual property (IP) management of Japanese entertainment, particularly anime. REMOW operates as a strategic joint venture backed by major Japanese publishers, broadcasters, and conglomerates, including Shueisha, Sumitomo Corporation, Toei Animation, and TV Tokyo. Its primary mission is to establish a legitimate global distribution network for Japanese content to combat piracy and expand the market for Japanese IP.^[1] Most of the anime licensed by Remow are usually seen on Remow's It's Anime YouTube channel and sometimes on Amazon Prime Video and Netflix, and in some cases on Crunchyroll.

REMOW was established on November 9, 2021, by Akira Ishii, who serves as the company's CEO. The company was founded during a period of rapid growth in the global anime market, which reached record highs in the early 2020s.

On May 2022, REMOW raised ¥1.28 billion in a seed funding round from nine major partners, including DeNA, Fuji Media Holdings, and Toei Animation. That same year, it formed a capital alliance with Anime Onegai, a streaming service catering to the Latin American market.

By early 2025, the company secured significant strategic investment from Sumitomo Corporation and an additional injection from Shueisha. This partnership was designed to leverage Sumitomo's global infrastructure and Shueisha's vast library of manga titles to accelerate REMOW's "hardware and software" distribution strategy.

On July 2, 2025, REMOW Launched “It’s Anime” a 24-Hour FAST Channel in North America.^[2][3]

On December 1, 2025, REMOW announced that it is launching the "It's Anime" FAST channel on VIZIO's WatchFree+ app in the United States.^[4]

Remow produces and licenses a lot of anime adaptations, not only from Shueisha titles, but also from other companies, like Kodansha, Akita Shoten and Shogakukan (also under Hitotsubashi Group).
