History
editAsahi Production was founded in 1973, initially establishing itself as a specialized shooting studio and PR movie company. At its inception, Sunrise Inc.

Production of promotional videos for large companies and industry organizations, such as the Japan Insurance Association and Asahi Chemical, was the studio's main business.[3][4]
