Tatsunoko Production (株式会社タツノコプロ Kabushiki Gaisha Tatsunoko Puro) is a Japanese animation studio founded on October 19, 1962, by brothers Tatsuo, Kenji and Toyoharu Yoshida. The studio was owned by TakaraTomy from 2006 to 2014, though they still remain a significant shareholder to this day. Tatsunoko have long had a working relationship with the American animation industry, with their television series being some of the first examples of dubbed anime succeeding in overseas markets.
Some of their most noteworthy programs include Mach Go Go Go (AKA Speed Racer), Gatchaman (AKA Battle of the Planets, AKA G-Force, AKA Saban Entertainment's Eagle Riders), Kyatto-Ninden Teyandee (AKA Samurai Pizza Cats), Tekkaman (AKA Teknoman), the Time Bokan franchise (such as Yatterman), and all three shows that got squished together to create Robotech (Macross, Mospeada, Southern Cross).
They also tricked you into thinking the Bible was cool with Superbook and The Flying House.
