Altamira Pictures, Inc. was a Japanese film studio established by two producers, Shoji Masui and Yuji Ogata, and two directors, Masayuki Suo and Itsumichi Isomura. The studio produced independent films for small theaters, and eventually created smash hits such as Waterboys and Swing Girls by collaborating with major film distributing companies and television networks.
The studio was a launching pad for new stars such as Satoshi Tsumabuki and Hiroshi Tamaki in Waterboys, and Juri Ueno and Yuika Motokariya in Swing Girls.
Altamira Music was its music arm, which managed musicians such as The Golden Cups.
