Doga Kobo, Inc. (株式会社動画工房, Kabushiki-gaisha Dōga Kōbō; literally "Video Workshop") is a Japanese animation studio formed by former Toei Animation members Hideo Furusawa and Megumu Ishiguro, located in Nerima, Tokyo, Japan. The studio was established on July 11, 1973, and is a subsidiary of Kadokawa Corporation.
Although the studio gained significant commercial success from their adaptations of yuri or yuri-ish anime like Koihime Musō and especially YuruYuri, the studio is also known for more traditional romantic shows such as Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun, Plastic Memories, and Tada Never Falls in Love, and for slice of life comedy series such as Gabriel DropOut and Himouto! Umaru-chan.
In recent times the studio gained a wide popularity due to the anime adaptation of Oshi no Ko, a manga series written by Aka Akasaka and illustrated by Mengo Yokoyari.
In July 2024, Kadokawa announced that it had acquired Doga Kobo.
