Toei Company is a Japanese film company founded in 1949 during the dismantling of the traditional Japanese film industry, as a result of some of the oldest elements of motion picture producers Makino, Tokyo Film Distribution, and Ohizumi Films. In its early years, Toei preferred to build local cinemas in villages and near train stations more than make good movies. In July 1956, Toei established an animation division, Toei Animation Company Limited at the former Tokyo-Ōizumi animation studio, purchasing the assets of Japan Animated Films. In March 1, 1960, Toei established Daini Toei (later New Toei) to produce and distribute more gendaigeki films, a genre of Japanese drama that deals with contemporary life. The company is also best known for producing television shows (mainly coming from the Tokusatsu genre) such as the Kamen Rider and Super Sentai series.

The words "TOEI COMPANY LTD." emerge from the water at the bottom side of the screen, and the "wall" crossfades to a slightly different seashore from the previous logo and the cyan Toei triangle zooms in, and while it does so it turns back to its white color. The seashore fades out, leaving the text and triangle on a black background.
