About the studio

Rakuonsha is genuinely hard to pin down with precision: no source found states an exact founding date, only that its production credits stretch back to at least 1998, which implies the company existed at or before that point. Founded by Yōta Tsuruoka, who broke off from Arts Pro (led by Yasunori Honda), Rakuonsha is a sound production company based in Tokyo, and it's become the long-time, near-exclusive audio partner for Kyoto Animation, alongside work with Sunrise and Gonzo. *When one studio trusts your sound work enough to keep coming back for over two decades, that's a reputation earned quietly rather than advertised loudly.* Its credits include Arakawa Under the Bridge, Working!!, and Sound! Euphonium. A related company, Studio Gongu, operates as its associated sound studio. If a more exact founding date ever surfaces, this profile deserves an update, but for now, Rakuonsha's story is best told through its collaborators rather than its paperwork.
