io Inc. Invests in Video Editor LIG and Starts Business Alliance
io is buying into a production partner rather than only contracting it, which ties a video studio's output to a company that also runs media and software businesses.
Reporting from 1 source: ASCII.jp.
io Inc. said it invested in video editing and production company LIG Inc. on September 1, 2026, and began a business alliance the same day. io, based in Minato-ku, Tokyo and led by Tadashi Kamigori, takes a shareholder role and will support LIG's growth. LIG, led by Jisen Dei, centers on female creators and handles long-form YouTube videos, short videos, and advertising creatives.
LIG was founded on the same date the alliance began, September 1, 2026, with Jisen Dei as representative director, and runs both video production and a video editing school.
The alliance covers video production collaboration, with both companies using their own production structures, and support for LIG's growth as io holds a shareholder position. The two will also use their businesses and networks to create new collaboration opportunities. io's Tadashi Kamigori said LIG's team has helped io many times through their work together, and that io will join in building LIG's business.
