Doga Kobo is a Japanese animation studio based in Nerima, Tokyo. It was formed by two former Toei Animation staff members, Hideo Furusawa and Megumu Ishiguro, and was established on 11 July 1973. The studio first gained commercial success with adaptations of yuri and yuri-like anime such as Koihime Muso and YuruYuri, and is also known for romantic comedies such as Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun and for slice-of-life comedies such as Gabriel DropOut and Himouto Umaru-chan. Its adaptation of the manga Oshi no Ko brought it wider attention in recent years. In July 2024 Kadokawa announced that it had acquired the studio, which is now a subsidiary of Kadokawa Corporation.
