NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan, LLC. (NBCユニバーサル・エンターテイメントジャパン合同会社) is a Japanese music, animation, and entertainment company and subsidiary of US conglomerate NBCUniversal.
The company has a long history, dating back to 1981 when it was formed as LaserDisc Corporation Co., Ltd. (株式会社レーザーディスク)[1], a branch of Pioneer tasked with manufacturing LaserDiscs, a role it would continue throughout the 1980s. In April 1989 its name would be changed to Pioneer LDC Co., Ltd.
