About the studio
DAX Production is one of the trickier entries here to pin down with confidence. There's no dedicated Wikipedia page, and the exact founding date isn't independently verified, though its parent entity, DAX International, dates to August 2003, and DAX Production is best understood as a subsidiary sound studio operating around that same era. *Sometimes the honest answer is we're not fully sure, and that's better than guessing.* Based in Shinjuku, Tokyo (per secondary sources), DAX Production works on the audio side of anime, handling sound production and recording direction rather than animation itself, and it's currently owned by Kyoraku Sangyo, a pachinko and pachislot machine manufacturer, since 2017. That's an unusual parent company for a sound studio, but the anime industry is full of ownership structures that don't quite make intuitive sense until you dig into them. If clearer records surface, this profile deserves an update, but for now, DAX Production's history stays a little hazy.
