Sony Group Corporation has owned several animation studios since the company's founding on May 7, 1946, by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita as Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo.

[5] On May 30, 2022, Aniplex, its subsidiary, CloverWorks, WIT Studio, and Shueisha announced the establishment of JOEN, a new joint venture involved in the planning and production of animated works, including TV series, feature films, and short clips.

CloverWorks’ Corporate Officer Yūichi Fukushima and WIT Studio Director Tetsuya Nakatake, producers of the highly acclaimed adaptation of Spy × Family, a collaboration between their respective studios, were appointed representative directors of JOEN.

[6][7][8] JOEN will strive to establish a new creative framework that prioritizes the staff during production while maintaining high quality and ensuring better and adequate profit sharing with creators.

It plans to collaborate with various studios, producers, and creators to capture the charm of each project instead of working exclusively with CloverWorks and WIT.
