PROFILE |
 |
Launched as a Kabuki production company in 1902, Japanese entertainment icon Shochiku is one of the top three film producers in the country. In addition to producing and distributing films such as "Flowers of Shanghai, Sonatine," and "Shi no toge," Shochiku operates eight multiplex theaters with more than 70 screens. The company is still active in Kabuki theater production and has branched into TV production. Shochiku Aruze Communications, Shochiku's joint venture with Aruze Corp., specializes in entertainment marketing services. Financial woes have prompted Shochiku to sell its theme park operation, cut back its production activities, and sell its famed Ofuna Studio.
