Dainichi Film Distribution Co., Ltd (ＤＮ ダイニチ映配株式会社), or simply Dainichi Eihai (ダイニチ映配), was a Japanese film studio. It was active from June 1970 to August 1971. It was formed from a partnership between Daiei and Nikkatsu, when Daiei was going through financial problems. Nikkatsu later withdrew from the partnership, leaving Daiei to face bankruptcy. "Dainichi" represents the combination of 大 and 日, the first characters of "Daiei" and "Nikkatsu", respectively.
