Greeting Cats (or many call them Fortune Cats in English) is the literal translation of Maneki Neko, a Japanese charm that traditionally merchants kept in their establishments to bring the luck, fortune, and customers to them. They all have their front paws up, either left or right.

We thought it would be nice and symbolic if we can bring not only the fortune, but also people together to create something great.

We are a consortium of artists, filmmakers, musicians, writers, educators, etc., who have something to express in their own way. We love collaboration and intend to offer membership to those who want to work in this kind of open environment.

As a company, we offer services that combine the functions of production and holding companies. Greeting Cats excels in the creation and development of a wide variety of media. From feature films, to video games, television series, music, marketing, and pure educational content, we are committed to producing world class live action and animated material for a competitive and evolving global marketplace.

Further, Greeting Cats specializes in the international management of Intellectual Property Rights and is dedicated to enhancing revenue potential through the development of ancillary goods such as toys, music, stationary, and other secondary market items.

We do take quality, message, and education very seriously.

Our core members have been in entertainment and/or educational businesses over fifteen years, in the USA and Japan, working internationally with other creators and educators around the world. If we can not do ourselves, we know other people who can.

Please keep coming back to check out what is going on in the world of Greeting Cats. This website will be updated by our own members. There are lots of other projects that we can not even mention for confidentiality reasons.
