SANDSTORM was founded by the visionary creator Maniacarta. From bold ideas, the company has grown into a pioneer in CG character production in Japan. Amidst a field crowded with competitors boasting decades of experience and hundreds of staff, Sandstorm has carved out its own path by focusing on “innovation,” “authenticity,” and “potential.
They believe true creativity is born through challenge, risk-taking, and building things no one has ever seen before.

​Their philosophy is that true innovation in gaming comes from a perfect blend of vision and collaboration. Through world-class art production for PC, console, and mobile games, they support partners’ challenges — transforming bold ideas into unforgettable gaming experiences.
Starting from Akihabara, building a new culture around anime and games, they aim to connect people, redefine entertainment, and bring new value to Japan’s gaming and film industries.

​Sandstorm is not just a production studio  it’s a movement. Their mission is to revive companies facing difficulties, breathe life into stagnant businesses, and turn challenges into growth. Through collaboration, they merge skills and strengths to create new value and build a next-generation educational system.

​

Since its founding, Sandstorm has built a strong network with top creators and developers from Japan, Korea, and China.

By bringing together Asia’s top talents, they aim to deliver unique style and innovative creativity to the Japanese and overseas entertainment markets, acting as a bridge connecting Japanese creative culture to the world.

With the rise of AI and XR technologies and rapid advances in digital-human technology, Sandstorm sees new possibilities and impact in film and music industries. While creators have not yet revealed all details, based on this rapid development and their contributions to the industry, they are fusing diverse technologies and master-models to realize expressions previously impossible.

​

​Thanks to rapidly advancing technology, they believe they can now shape anything viewers wish to see on screen and by combining these tools with others, they hope to reconstruct the future of creativity.

​

Seeing the immense talent and competitive landscape in the industry, Sandstorm was established to unite outstanding studios and creators under one vision. As the company moves toward making its business model fully operational in its first year, the company is seeking studios and artists who are open-minded, creative, and free to imagine and execute bold ideas.

​

Sandstorm aims to partner with these forward-thinking creators to collaboratively develop new IPs for the future market.
