Content Creation Solutions business
We support Japanese content culture by developing and providing a digital tool for illustration, manga, webtoon, and animation artists around the world. It is supported on array of devices from smartphones, to tablets, and computers.
Artists of all levels use our app Clip Studio Paint, from digital art beginners to professional comic artists, illustrators, and animators. It is an industry standard tool in studios as well as universities and vocational schools.
