Studio Ghibli Separates from Tokuma Shoten

   In a move to avoid bankruptsy, parent company Tokuma Shoten Publishing has announced plans to establish its world-famous anime division Studio Ghibli as an independent company.

Publishers Tokuma Shoten have been plagued with financial difficulties and rampant debt ever since the death of popular CEO Yasuyoshi Tokuma and have been operating under the supervision of the Mitsui Sumitomo Bank. Studio Ghibli's profits were used to reduce Tokuma Shoten's debt by half, but in the end the decision was made to divide the publishing operations and the anime division (i.e., Studio Ghibli) into two new, independant companies.

The president of newly-established Studio Ghibli, Inc., is expected to be producer Toshio Suzuki.
