About

Where East
meets West.

MOCHI was founded on a simple but ambitious belief: that the most powerful stories are the ones that transcend cultural boundaries. Based in Tokyo and operating globally, we develop, produce, and co-produce feature films and television series that speak to audiences everywhere.

We specialize in international co-productions, connecting talent, financing, and distribution across Asia, North America, and Europe. Every project we take on is built around a singular vision — to tell stories that feel both deeply local and universally human.
