Toho Co., Ltd.
 PROFILE
Size may not matter to Toho, the Japanese company that unleashed Godzilla on the world back in 1954, but the company is a fire-breathing giant in the Japanese movie distribution and theater business (along with rivals Shochiku and Toei). Although Toho makes relatively few movies now, it has produced 23 Godzilla movies over the past 45 years, including 1999's "Godzilla 2000: Millennium." The company operates more than 50 movie theaters in Japan and has a joint venture with Shochiku and Toei to build the first theater to show movies from all three companies. Toho also has restaurants, retail shops, various real estate holdings, and two playhouses in Tokyo. Subsidiaries of Hankyu Corp. own about 25% of the company.
