About Pierrot
Pierrot, a noted Japanese animation studio, was founded in 1979 and has its headquarters in Mitaka, Tokyo. The company is popular for the various anime series it has produced, many of which have bagged awards as best anime shows, and include shows such as Naruto, Bleach and Yu Yu Hakusho.
Apart from anime, Pierrot has developed, produced and licensed animations, graphic designs, video games, music videos and live-action movies. Pierrot is the French word for clown and this reflects the company’s mission to create content that is entertaining and engaging, and which appeals to a spectrum of age groups.
One of the early success stories of Pierrot was the anime series Creamy Mami, the Magic Angel which was on air from 1983. It was about a young girl named Yuu, who gets magical powers which enable her to transform into a teenage pop star. This show caught the imagination of anime lovers and Pierrot became a successful animation studio. This was followed by other popular anime series with supernatural powers as the mainstay. In the shonen genre of anime came Yu Yu Hakusho, which is about a teenage delinquent who becomes a spirit detective. This became a hit show and the popularity of Pierrot continued to rise.
However, the show that brought Pierrot not only national fame but also international acclaim and name is undoubtedly Naruto, one of the company’s most popular shows. It was aired for a record-breaking period of six years. The protagonist is a young ninja named Naruto Uzumaki and the show traces his journey as he trains to become the strongest ninja in his village.
