*On a Soviet Russian print of ''Nobody's Boy'' (1977), the logo is replaced by the text "TOЗЙ КOMПAHИ янония", and the background is still.
*There are MANY Soviet and Soviet Scope Versions usually seen on soviet prints of existing films.


'''FX/SFX:''' The live-action background and zooming of the logo.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The sound of waves crashing, silent, or the opening theme of the film. The ''Hakujyaden'' variant uses a patriotic fanfare. [[New Line Cinema|New Line]] co-productions have a dramatic, western-sounding fanfare continuing to said company's first logo, composed by such names as Tony Sushima and Takeo Watanabe.

'''Availability:''' Very common. Seen on Toei releases from the late 50s to 2001. Sometimes it is removed or plastered with local distributors logos on export prints, but is often retained. Common films that have this are the ''Dragon Ball'' films, the Sonny Chiba ''Street Fighter'' films (the [[New Line Home Video]] releases, and public domain prints of the first two films, retain them, with the theatrical R-rated versions using the truncated versions of their opening themes as heard over the [[New Line Cinema]] logo on original American release prints), ''Animal Treasure Island'', ''The Bullet Train, The Fugitive From The Past'', and ''Karate Bullfighter''. It can also be found on ''YuYu Hakusho: The Golden Seal'', which they distributed on behalf of Studio Pierrot. The variant that says "A TOEI PICTURE" appears on the English version of Shogun's Ninja. The Thorn EMI release of ''Roaring Fire'' has the variant with the text "TOEI COMPANY, LTD. Presents" fading in below. It is not known if it appeared on any prints of ''Fist of the North Star'' but all known versions currently available do have an in-credit reference to Toei at the beginning of the film. Don't expect it to appear on current prints of the [[Kadokawa Shoten (Japan)|Kadokawa Shoten]]-produced films that they distributed. It may have been on older prints of ''Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind'' but no evidence has shown up as of yet. It was also probably seen on the earliest prints of ''Castle In The Sky'' and ''Kiki's Delivery Service'' but has since been replaced on most home video releases of both films with the current [[Studio Ghibli (Japan)|Studio Ghibli]] logo.

'''Editor's Note:''' Quite possibly the most famous Japanese film logo, or at least outside of Japan.
