Shout! Design Works

Shout! Design Works (シャウトデザインワークス) was established by Akishi Imai (今井秋芳), AKA Shuuhou Imai, in 1992 to support his freelance work. Imai had previously worked at Atlus as a dot artist. The company was best known for the Tokyo Majin Gakuen franchise, which came about from Imai's desire to work on an original creative project rather than just contract work. After Shout! closed down, Imai went to Now Production, where he would later head a spiritual successor to the Tokyo Majin franchise with Mato Kurenai Yuugekitai / Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters.
