Studio Nue, Inc.[1] (Japanese: スタジオぬえ) is a Japanese design studio formed in 1972 (as Crystal Art Studio)[2] by Naoyuki Kato, Kenichi Matsuzaki, Kazutaka Miyatake, and Haruka Takachiho. Crystal Art Studio would change their name to Studio Nue in 1974.
They were known as the co-creators of the Macross franchise along with Artland (co-production of the first series) and Big West Advertising (financial funding).
Mechanical designer Shōji Kawamori is a notable member of Studio Nue and is remembered as the key creator of Macross.[3]
The mascot for Studio Nue was based on the Nue yōkai from Japanese mythology. It also acted as a chimera for the personal mascots of the four founders, a vampire bat, cockroach, tanuki, and snake respectively.[4]
