	Movies - Tsuburaya Productions

Tsuburaya Productions (円谷プロダクション) is the production company founded by the late special effects wizard Eiji Tsuburaya and is now run by his family. First established in 1963, it was responsible for the creation of such classic shows as Ultraman
(and its many sequels), Kaiju Booska
and many other spectacular tokusatsu family/children's shows.

The company's current logo is originally the logo from their 1968 TV series, Mighty Jack
, which is Eiji's favorite work.

The company, when first formed, was called "Tsuburaya Special Effects Productions" (円谷特技プロダクション). In 1968, Toho Company Ltd. forced them to change the name to just "Tsuburaya Productions," not only because they thought Eiji acted as though only he can do special effects, but they also felt that his own TV shows were becoming a strong competition to the movies he was doing for them. Although Eiji had strong political power at Toho, he and the company were at odds with each other until his death in 1970.
