In 1937, Shochiku Kinema (film) and Shochiku Kōgyō (theater) merged into one company: '''Shochiku Films''' (松竹映画); The company headquarters is currently located at Chuo, Tokyo. From this point, films were mostly released under the Shochiku Films name; however, some were occasionally released under the '''Ōfuna Films''' name, but without the Shochiku Kinema byline. Shochiku is one of the four members of the Motion Picture Producers Association of Japan (MPPAJ), and the oldest of Japan's "Big Four" film studios. | In 1937, Shochiku Kinema (film) and Shochiku Kōgyō (theater) merged into one company: '''Shochiku Films''' (松竹映画); The company headquarters is currently located at Chuo, Tokyo.
