CATACI is a Japanese manga and anime agency and studio for brands and publishers. Starting from your script or a first idea, we design the characters, direct our Japanese artists and deliver finished work, ready for print or screen. One studio, responsible from first idea to final file.
Our studio スタジオ
Bring a finished script or just an idea. CATACI adapts or develops the story, designs the characters, sets the visual direction and produces every page or frame with Japanese artists from our core team and wider network, led by our creative director. You review the work at each stage. Getting it right is our job.

Every project is director-led, from brief to delivery. You review; we produce.
Goal, audience, format, page count, schedule, budget and rights, all settled before anyone starts drawing.
We cast the artist from our core team or wider network whose own style fits the story, then fix characters, tone and references. We never ask anyone to copy another creator.
Script and storyboards, line art, color, then lettering or animation, with a review round for you at each stage.
Print-ready files, video masters and digital assets, localized, with the usage rights we agreed at the start.
