IP Bay
A harbor for Japanese stories on their voyage to the world.
Japan first · Author first
A harbor for Japanese stories on their voyage to the world.
Thirty-five years of publisher relationships. One company that sits at the table from the first Tokyo meeting to the last note on the mix stage. Patiently, faithfully, and in direct partnership with the authors at the source.
Built on the Cloverway legacy of bringing Dragon Ball Z and Sailor Moon across the Pacific.
Before there was a market for anime in the Americas, Yasuo Matsuo was building one. From Toei Animation's sole Americas representative to the trusted intermediary for Shueisha, Kodansha, and Nippon Animation. The relationships that took thirty years to build are the ones IP Bay carries forward.
Quality of work. Trust of our partners. Respect for every author.
We are not brokers. We are not intermediaries. We are the company with the relationships, and we sit at the table throughout. Anchored in three decades of publisher trust, and committed to the patience the work deserves.
