Toei Studios is an animation studio based in Japan. They are responsible for virtually all of the animation produced for the Generation 1 (television series) television series. They are known for animating many American and Japanese cartoons, such as G.I. Joe, Devilman, Sailor Moon, Digimon and a ton of others.

Toei Studios animated every episode of season 1 and 2 of the Generation 1 cartoon, save for City of Steel, The Autobot Run and The Core, which were done by AKOM. They also produced the animation for Transformers: the Movie and Scramble City as well as all the animated television commericals.

Season 3 ("Transformers 2010" in Japan) saw a decline in Toei's participation, as they were gradually outsourced by AKOM's more cost-efficient animation, and only produced a handful of episodes.

Toei would animate all of the Japanese-exclusive cartoons: Headmasters (television series), Masterforce (television series), Victory (television series) and the Zone (animation) OVA.
