This question is about Crunchyroll.
Sony owns Crunchyroll after acquiring them in 2021. Crunchyroll is owned by Sony through a joint venture between Sony Pictures and Sony Music Entertainment Japan's Aniplex.
Crunchyroll started in 2006 as a for-profit video upload and streaming site that specialized in hosting content created in east Asia. Some of the content hosted on Crunchyroll included fansubbed versions of popular shows from that region of the world.
In 2008, Crunchyroll secured a capital investment of $4.05 million from the venture capital firm Venrock. The investment drew criticism from anime distributors and licensors, Bandai Entertainment and Funimation, as the site continued to allow users to upload illegal copies of licensed titles.
Crunchyroll began securing legal distribution agreements with companies and stated that it was committed to removing all copyright-infringing content from its site.
Crunchyroll is headquartered in San Francisco, California but has offices in:
Culver City
