The studio was founded in Suginami by Voyager Holdings in May 2019, and later received investments from Bandai Namco Arts, currently under the legal entity Bandai Namco Music Live and financed by Bandai Namco Filmworks to strengthen the development of the Space Battleship Yamato franchise through its partnership with copyright holder Voyager Holdings.[1]
Studio Mother was led by Yukinao Shimoji, who was formerly a producer (and later CEO) of Xebec, until his passing in February 2022. Kiyonari Hiramatsu, the representative director of Asread and board member of Studio Mother, was appointed representative director of the company.[2]
