Motion Picture Producers Association of Japan , Inc. 1945 (December 1) MPPAJ starts out as the Union of Motion Picture Producers.
Motion picture bodies created under governmental control during World War II were ordered in rapid succession to dissolve after the war ended. Japan's film world fell apart and the Union of Motion Picture Producers was established as a voluntary association to maintain and revive the industry, with a lineup of three feature film companies (Shochiku Co., Ltd., Toho Co., Ltd., and Dai Nippon Film Production Co., Ltd.) as well as four news, short and educational film companies (Asahi Film Co., Ltd., Dentsu Film Inc., Riken Science Film Co., Ltd. and Yokohama Cinema Co., Ltd.), which had survived the postwar purge. 1947 (March) Inside Pop Culture.
