About AI studio MiYaGi

AI studio MiYaGi (studio-miyagi.com) is a creative studio specialized in the new domain of visual expression opened up by generative AI, under the concept of 'Imaging the Beyond of Imagination.' With a mission to create a world of imagery transcending transformation, time, and gravity that cannot be reached by live-action alone, it handles AI video production across all domains, including CMs, dramas, movies, and MVs. Moving forward, it will build a high-profit and high-sustainability AI video business model by combining contract production with the planning, production, and secondary utilization (licensing, merchandising, global sales) of its own original IP.

Akihiro MiyaGi (Representative of AI studio MiYaGi) transitioned to an AI creator after a career spanning over 10 years as a video producer. He has a track record of collaboration with major Tokyo-based stations such as Yomiuri TV and Nippon TV, and has received high acclaim both domestically and internationally.
