The Tokyo Design Academy has been producing creators for close to fifty years since our founding in 1966. Over our long history, we have accumulated a considerable amount of educational know-how in the areas of design, manga, and animation. And through our rich curriculums and support system, we help beginners grow into professionals. Since the school was first established 50 years ago, we have consistently worked on specialized design courses in higher education. In that time, we have seen many different staff members, a lot of know-how, reliable facilities, and the advantage of a high level of expertise that makes understanding the essence of design possible. All of this, together with the many inter-departmental exchanges, have inspired and nurtured imagination and sensitivity.
