P Productions


P Productions is a Japanese production company, which has produced anime and tokusatsu television programs, with minor work in motion pictures. It was founded in 1960 by the late TV producer Tomio Sagisu. The company exists today as a stockholder. Perhaps their most famous creations are Osamu Tezuka's Ambassador Magma, one of the first tokusatsu series dubbed into English and aired in the United States, and the three series that make up the unique Lion-Maru franchise, featuring anthropomorphic lion samurai battling evil in feudal Japan. Most of P Productions' film and television projects, like Ambassador Magma for example, features animation sequences created with matte paintings by Yoshio Watanabe with Tomio Sagisu himself, and termed in Japanese as "composited drawings" or "drawing synthesis".
