Daiei Film Co., Ltd. (大映映画株式会社) was a Japanese film studio. Originally founded in 1942 as Dai Nippon Film Co., Ltd. (大日本映画製作株式会社), it was originally formed from a merger of Shinko Kinema, Daito Eiga and the film production arm of Nikkatsu, as a product of Japanese government efforts to reorganize the film industry during World War II. In 1945, Dai Nippon Film was renamed to Daiei Film Co., Ltd., and in 1947, the relationship with Nikkatsu was dissolved.
It was a major studio during the Golden Age of Japanese cinema. It went bankrupt in 1971; in 1974 it was bought by Tokuma Shoten; and in 2002 was sold to Kadokawa Shoten and renamed Kadokawa Daiei Motion Picture Co., Ltd., later Kadokawa Pictures.
