Gaina Co., Ltd. (Japanese: 株式会社ガイナ, Hepburn: Kabushiki-gaisha Gaina), formerly known as Fukushima Gainax (Japanese: 福島ガイナックス, Hepburn: Fukushima Gainakkusu), is a Japanese animation studio subsidiary of the Kinoshita Group.

Establishment

In 2015, Gainax established a new managing company to manage a studio and museum on Miharu, Fukushima to take overseas outsourcing works and manage the museum. The objective and location was made to help the tourism on the region because of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011.^[1] In December 2015, Fukushima Gainax and Gainax became independent companies with no relation between each other besides the Gainax name, with the company entering their own projects later.^{[citation needed]}

In September 2016, the company established a new subsidiary in Tokyo.^{[citation needed]} In August 2018, the company relocated its headquarters to its subsidiary in Tokyo making it the main company while transferring control to the museum in Fukushima to its new company called Fukushima Gaina the same month. On August 20, it was announced that the Kinoshita Group acquired the company and that the company changed its name to Gaina with its new parent company planning to make the new subsidiary a pillar of its anime production to expand its business.^[2]
