Talent Coordination

Agency and VIP liaison runs through our talent coordinators. They hold working ties with the major Tokyo and Osaka casting agencies, Kyoto period-piece pros, and the Yokohama and Fukuoka regional rosters.

They schedule cast pickups around Japanese Labor Standards Act work limits, and they set up Shibuya and Shinjuku hotel bases for global leads. For high-profile talent, they run quiet movement through Narita, Haneda, and Itami arrivals, with ground transport and security matched to the brief.

Visa and contract compliance is where Japan's set-up really matters. Our coordinators support Entertainment Visa (Type 4) forms via the Certificate of Eligibility, with METI and JFC liaison. They also brief global performers on senpai-kohai set etiquette.

Rehearsal schedules are planned around Golden Week and Obon. The team lines up makeup and wardrobe calls at Toho Studios in Setagaya or Toei Kyoto Studios near Uzumasa. Per-diem handling, agent talks, and on-set comfort planning round out a layer that keeps performers focused on the work.

How we source and vet sets the tone for sensitive cast work. We screen each coordinator for bilingual English and Japanese, then confirm credits on comparable casts before we place them. Some specialise in single-presenter commercials, others in large ensemble features and series. Many have run rosters across Kansai, Nagoya, and Fukuoka. We match the coordinator to your cast size, format, and the discretion your principals expect on set.

Rates are quoted in JPY, with the 10 percent consumption tax shown as a clear line. Our coordinators schedule cast against Japanese Labor Standards Act limits on hours and turnaround. They also plan around Golden Week and Obon peaks, when cast travel and hotels stretch thin. Their reach covers Tokyo and Osaka studio bases, Kyoto period sets, Yokohama days, and location moves into Hokkaido. The result is steady cast flow and clean records from prep through wrap.
