This company was founded in 1949 during the dismantling of the traditional Japanese film industry, as a result of some of the oldest elements of motion picture producers Makino, Toyoto Eiga Company, Ltd., Tokyo Film Distribution, and Ohizumi Films. In its early years, Toei preferred to build local cinemas in villages and near train stations more than make good movies. In 1956, Toei established an animation division, [[Toei Animation (Japan)|Toei Animation Company Limited]] at the former Tokyo-Ōizumi animation studio, purchasing the assets of Japan Animated Films. In 1960, Toei established Daini Toei (later [[New Toei (Japan)|New Toei]]) to produce and distribute more gendaigeki films, gendaigeki being a genre of Japanese drama that deals with contemporary life.
