WE TELL STORY and FUTURE
Akira Uchiyama, the president of the company, gathered a group of CG animation specialists and established a company specializing in game animation, Buhistar Inc. in March 2015.
The company has evolved into Japan's foremost game animation company, attracting high-level animators from all over the world who were attracted by Uchiyama's past player animations for world-famous titles and his ability to direct the development process.
We believe that it is important to build a development environment that can be enjoyed by people on the frontline. Based on our past experiences, we believe that this is the best environment to produce quality.
We believe that it is the mission of Buhistar to support the entire team involved in a project to truly enjoy the development process from start to release, and to send out to the world the wonderful works that result.

COMPANY PHILOSOPHY
The world's most powerful game animation team
We help refine the gameplay, the feel of the game, the AI, the character (role creation) that fits the game, and the emotional expression.
Game Animator
Before being a game animator, you should be a game creator. The animation section should be the section that plays a fundamental role in game creation.
In order to understand and realize the images envisioned by the director and planners, it is necessary to have repeated discussions with all other sections, make arrangements for production, unify intentions, and incorporate them into the game at a high level.
This is something that animators can do.
