Actas Inc.[a] is a Japanese animation studio founded in 1998. It is currently a subsidiary of Bandai Namco Arts, which in turn is a subsidiary to Bandai Namco Holdings.[1]

History[]

Actas was founded on July 6, 1998 by Hiroshi Katō and Jūtarō Ōba, who previously worked for Tatsunoko Production and Ashi Productions.[2]
