Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Works 3 Awards 4 References 5 External links History ( edit ) Initially founded as `` IG Tatsunoko Limited '' in 1987 , it was a break - off branch - studio of Tatsunoko Productions which created Zillion . Mitsuhisa Ishikawa , the producer of Zillion , founded the studio to obstruct the dispersing of the excellent staffs of the Tatsunoko branch . The members of the Tatsunoko Production annex , `` 鐘 夢 '' ( pronounced `` chaimu '' after the English `` chime '' ) , which led by Takayuki Goto joined the Ishikawa 's Tatsunoko Branch that used the same floor of Goto 's annex and Goto was also the character designer of Zillion . Kyoto Animation , one of the finishers of Zillion , supported Ishikawa and the `` IG Tatsunoko Limited '' was founded on December 15 , 1987 . The `` IG '' was named after the initials of Ishikawa and Goto . The initial shareholders of the studio were Ishikawa , Goto , Hideaki Hatta ( Kyoto Animation ) and Tatsunoko Production , etc . Among Production I.G 's earliest most notable works was the feature length cinematic anime adaptation of the Patlabor story , created by the group HEADGEAR . In 1993 , during the final stages of the production of Patlabor 2 the company ended capital relation to Tatsunoko Production that had 20 % of the stocks of I.G and changed its name to the current `` Production I.G '' on September 1993 . Thus , the movie Patlabor 2 , released on August 1993 , became the last product bearing the name `` IG Tatsunoko '' . In early 1997 Koichi Mashimo a fellow Tatsunoko employee presented an idea of his to President Ishikawa . Mashimo had conceived the idea of a small studio that could work on small productions and `` nurture '' the creative spirit of its staff members . Ishikawa liked the idea and sponsored Mashimo 's endeavor and studio Bee Train Animation Inc. was formed as a subsidiary company . Production I.G and Ishikawa helped supervise and produce the early productions such as PoPoLoCrois Monogatari , Wild Arms : Twilight Venom , and Arc the Lad . Along with Xebec it was the second subsidiary company under I.G. In 2006 , Bee Train became independent and Ishikawa stepped down as an executive in the company . The two studios would team up again in 2008 to work on Blade of the Immortal , Batman : Gotham Knight , and again in 2010 for Halo Legends . In 1998 , the company incorporated to become `` Production I.G , Inc . '' Following that , Production I.G merged with `` ING '' , another production company founded by the same Mitsuhisa Ishikawa , in 2000 . In a Q&A session Ishikawa said : It ( The I.G in Production I.G ) stands for two words itsumo ( always ) and genki ( happy ) ; you should ask is that true ? In reality it stands for Ishikawa , and my artist collaborator 's name Takayuki Goto , the initials of our last names . But now though I am the sole president , we kept the name . But I am happy to say it means Itsumo Genki . On July 4 , 2007 , the company announced merger with Mag Garden , forming a new holding company called IG Port .
