'''Availability''': Somewhat rare. First appeared on ''The Inugami Family'' (1976), the logo was presumably retired starting with the release of ''The Aimed School'' (1981). This logo may or may not be plastered by the Kadokawa Shoten logo (or no logo may even appear at all) on some newer prints of the films this logo originally appeared on, contributing to its' rather limited availability.

Fortunately, this logo is retained on the 4K BD of ''The Beast to Die'' (1980).
