Tokyo Eiga Co., Ltd. (東京映画株式会社, Tōkyō Eiga kabushiki-gaisha) was a Japanese film production company founded in 1952 as a subsidiary of Toho. Originally based in Kamiōsaki, Shinagawa, Tokyo, it relocated to Setagaya in 1962.[1] Among the company's co-productions were Onibaba (1964), None but the Brave (1965), The Face of Another (1966), and Goyokin (1969).[2]
On August 25, 1983, Tokyo Eiga was reorganized and absorbed into Tokyo Eiga Shinsha, which continued producing films and re-releasing Tokyo Eiga's catalog. Tokyo Eiga Shinsha later merged with Toho on September 1, 2004, and was dissolved.[3]
