Shin-Ei Animation's history begins in December 1965 as A Production (エイプロダクション, Ei Purodakshon) by Daikichirō Kusube who was then a former animator at Toei.

Shin-Ei is known for being the animation studio behind two of the anime television series — Doraemon and Crayon Shin-chan in 1979 and 1992 respectively. They have been running on Japanese television ever since.

In 2010, TV Asahi had acquired the animation studio.[3]

In April 2017, SynergySP became a subsidiary of the company.
