Coamix
Japanese manga and anime producer
Coamix Inc. (株式会社コアミックス, Kabushiki-gaisha Koamikkusu) is a Japanese manga and anime production company headquartered in the Kichijoji Zizo Building (吉祥寺じぞうビル, Zizo Biru) in Kichijōji, Musashino, Tokyo. The company was previously partnered with Shinchosha until 2010 and then with Tokuma Shoten until Coamix began self-publishing in 2020.
The company was founded on June 4, 2000, by former Weekly Shōnen Jump editor-in-chief Nobuhiko Horie (who currently serves as the company's CEO), along with manga artists Tsukasa Hojo, Tetsuo Hara, and Ryuji Tsugihara, and voice actor Akira Kamiya, among others. The company published the manga anthology Weekly Comic Bunch, as well as the collected editions of their titles under the Bunch Comics imprint, from 2001 to 2010. In 2010, Monthly Comic Zenon was established to replace Bunch, and is currently under Coamix's responsibility.
Coamix was the parent company of the now-defunct North American manga publisher Gutsoon! Entertainment, which published Raijin Comics. A Japanese language edition of Raijin Comics was published by Coamix in Japan.
In addition to comic production, Coamix and related companies are currently engaged in multiple of related business, such as cafe and dining at their headquarters in Kichijoji.

Why this record matters
The phrase “japanese manga and anime producer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2981098. VIAF identifies the subject as 259775091. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2020, 2000 and 2001.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
