Establishment

In 2015, Gainax established a new managing company to manage a studio and museum on Miharu, Fukushima to take overseas outsourcing works and manage the museum.

In September 2016, the company established a new subsidiary in Tokyo. In August 2018, the company relocated its headquarters to its subsidiary in Tokyo making it the main company while transferring control to the museum in Fukushima to its new company called Fukushima Gaina the same month. On August 20, it was announced that the Kinoshita Group acquired the company and that the company changed its name to Gaina with its new parent company planning to make the new subsidiary a pillar of its anime production to expand its business.
