Yakiniku Studios
Small teams.
Big audiences.
Yakiniku Studios is an independent digital entertainment company creating original characters and episodic stories for a new generation of audiences.
We build entertainment for the platforms where people already spend their time.
CHARACTERS FIRST
People return for characters, not production technology. We create personalities audiences can recognize, relate to and want to see again.
DIGITAL FIRST
Built for how entertainment is watched today. Our stories can live across episodes, shorts and social platforms.
BUILT TO CONTINUE
One successful story should lead to another. Characters can grow across episodes, formats, platforms and eventually entirely new experiences.
Entertainment doesn't need to be complicated.
Great entertainment does not always require enormous crews, enormous budgets or years of production.
It needs characters people care about.
Stories people want to finish.
And another episode worth coming back for.
That's what we're building.
Production
A different kind of studio.
We combine writers, producers, artists and a new generation of creative technology to produce original entertainment efficiently and consistently.

Why Yakiniku?
No complicated brand strategy.
The founders just really like Japanese barbecue.
Some stories start over a grill.
