Gaina Co., Ltd. (Japanese: 株式会社ガイナ, Hepburn: Kabushiki-gaisha Gaina), formerly known as Fukushima Gainax (Japanese: 福島ガイナックス, Hepburn: Fukushima Gainakkusu), is a Japanese animation studio subsidiary of the Kinoshita Group.
In 2015, Gainax established a new managing company to manage a studio and museum in Miharu, Fukushima to take overseas outsourcing works and manage the museum. The objective and location was made to help the tourism on the region because of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011.[1] In December 2015, Fukushima Gainax and Gainax became independent companies with no relation between each other besides the Gainax name, with the company starting their own projects later.[citation needed]
In September 2016, the company established a new subsidiary in Tokyo.[citation needed] In August 2018, it was announced that Fukushima Gainax had been acquired by Kinoshita Group Holdings on July 26, making it Kinoshita's new subsidiary. Fukushima Gainax changed its studio name to Gaina and relocated to Koganei, Tokyo on August 9, with its new parent company planning to make the new subsidiary a pillar of its anime production to expand its business.[2]
