Toei Animation is the animation production subsidiary of Toei Company Ltd. It was established in 1956 at the former Tokyo-Ōizumi animation studio by purchasing the assets of Japan Animated Films. By the mid-60's, the company began producing anime for television. The company also produces feature-length anime films, based on well-known stories and their TV series. Toei Animation is famous for adapting such manga series as Dragon Ball, One Piece, and Sailor Moon, and for popularizing Digimon. Toei Animation also made overseas work for Marvel Productions and Hanna-Barbera.

Visuals: There is a small line-art version of Pero (as described below) in reverse video, with the text "Produced in Association with" above and "TOEI DOGA" below, all in the Transformers credits font. Below all this is a Sunbow Productions copyright notice, in a compressed sans-serif.
Technique: None.
Audio: The end theme of The Transformers
Availability: Only seen on early season 1 episodes of The Transformers.
Visuals: On a white background with a blurred picture of a rainbow, there's the metallic "Toei Animation" text appearing on top of the screen in an arc formation. On the bottom, the yellow Japanese text saying "公式ビジュアルガイド" (which means "Official Visual Guide") appears.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: None.
Availability: Was only seen on Dragon Ball Z: Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans (OVA).
Visuals: On a space background, bubbles with images on them (mostly on nature, like the red tulip, a sunflower, a pelican, a gecko, a parrot and some fishes) form together and morph into the head of a Puss in Boots-like character named Pero, the star of Toei's 1969 adaptation of Charles Perrault's Puss in Boots tale. The background transitions into the multicolored starburst background and to white, and the head zooms out to make way for the "TOEI ANIMATION" text to zoom out into the screen.
Variants:
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A triumphant orchestral fanfare ending with a timpani roll. In most cases, it'll use the last part of the show's ending theme, or a descending sparkling noise ending in 4 bell tolls.
Audio Variant: On Tamagotchi: Honto no Hanashi, there are bubble sounds, followed by a "ta-da!" sound effect originally taken from Fun and Fancy Free (and used as a stock sound effect in Cartoon Trax Volume 1) and a girl saying "Yippee!".
Availability:
Visuals: There are 2 variants for this logo:
Variants:
Technique: CGI.
Audio: Two whooshes with a pounding sound, played along with an orchestral note.
Audio Variant: The long version contains a filmstrip sound (similar to the 2012 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer logo), followed by a glitter sound when Pero uses his wand, a Dragon Ball Z sound when Pero flies with 2 whoosh sounds, and finally, the sounds mentioned before. On one occasion, instead of the 4 mentioned sounds, there were 3 whooshes and a glitter sound when the golden stars appear.
