Toho Co., Ltd., often shortened to just Toho, is a Japanese film production company. It was founded by Ichizō Kobayashi in 1932 and was originally headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. As a producer and distributor of films both in the Asian market and internationally, Toho remains the driving force behind hundreds of memorable movies including the works of such notable directors like Akira Kurosawa and Ishirô Honda.
And in case you're still scratching your head wondering what wonders the good folks at Toho have created, one need go no further than the biggest actor in all of movie history (literally) - Godzilla. Without question, Toho has made Godzilla one of the most recognizable, popular and iconic visages in the industry. It could be argued that he is also the highest paid giant monster in film history with more than thirty-five movies under his belt... uhh... err... scales.
