Eiko Tanaka (田中 栄子, Tanaka Eiko) is a Japanese anime entrepreneur, the co-founder and current chief executive officer of Studio 4°C and producer of the studio. She is also the CEO of a producing company called Beyond C.[1][2]
Tanaka was one of the supporters of Studio Ghibli at its inception as a line producer.[3]
At Studio 4°C, Tanaka charts the path from scenario to completion of the work and determines the image of the work, including casting, staffing and setting, while at Beyond C., she is mainly responsible for planning and production, as well as fundraising and production management.[4]
Starting with the 1995 film Memories, Tanaka has produced a diverse range of video works for Studio 4°C, including films, short movies, music videos, TV commercials and footage for games.[2]
The film Mind Game, which was first directed by Masaaki Yuasa, and. the film Tekkonkinkreet, based on the popular comic book by Taiyō Matsumoto and completed after 13 years of planning, received high acclaim from all quarters. Mind Game won the Grand Prize at the Japan Media Arts Festival.[2]
In 2002, she co-produced The Animatrix with Warner Bros.[2]
Tanaka has established Studio 4°C's reputation as an elite creative group, unique among Japanese animation studios, by continuing to emphasise the individuality of its creators and working with them to create cutting-edge visual expressions.[2]
Having experienced very harsh conditions at a time when there was not a single female production assistant besides her, Tanaka has strived to improve the working environment on the production floor so that both men and women can work comfortably.[1][5]
