Mania Mania Inc. Changes Name to 'Watanabe Education Co., Ltd.'

Mania Mania Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Miki Watanabe), which operates entertainment schools directly managed by Watanabe Entertainment, changed its trade name to 'Watanabe Education Co., Ltd.' on April 1, 2026. We are also pleased to announce a complete renewal of the brand logo.

Background of the Name Change Entertainment has always given people courage and the strength to express themselves and take a step forward, regardless of the era. We are confident that by sublimating the power of entertainment, which holds this unchanging value, into learning, we can foster the solid strength needed to survive in modern society. To create a future where the next generation can challenge themselves without fear of failure and shine brightly, we believe that we should now raise our position as a human resource development institution providing entertainment education to a new stage. With this change of name to 'Watanabe Education Co., Ltd.', we aim not only to more clearly indicate that we are directly managed by Watanabe Entertainment, but also to develop talent that will lead the next generation, connect the possibilities of entertainment education to society, and contribute to building a society where everyone can shine in their own way.

Thoughts behind the New Logo Design and Color The logo design of the new corporation inherits the logo of Watanabe Entertainment. This indicates that it is an entertainment school directly managed by the same group and provides an educational environment that maximizes the expertise and network accumulated over many years. In addition, 'green' has been adopted as the brand color. This carries the message that we want to be an educational institution that supports the process in which young talent (young leaves) who will lead the next generation grow fresh and spread into rich fresh greenery.
