Studio ONI 2-Minute Reel / Feb 2025

We are Studio ONI Ltd., an animation studio based in Tokyo, dedicated to blending Japan’s traditional culture with innovative animation techniques.

In our animation, the backgrounds are hand-painted using traditional sumi-e (ink wash painting), while the characters are drawn with digital sumi-e techniques. This fusion of tradition and modern technology has allowed us to create a one-of-a-kind animation style that is unlike anything else in the world.

Today, a tremendous new addition to Operation ONI's content was born. It's Mao's Vtuber ver.2 made by Tenkuroku san! The quality is so great that it gives me goosebumps. I will give it to Risa Imayanagi, Mao's voice actress, later and we are going to post a vtuber video! Thank you so much, Tenkuroku san! #OperationONI #Vtuber
