Fujisankei Communications International

Fujisankei Communications International, Inc. (FCI) was founded in 1986 in New York City as the American arm of the Fujisankei Communications Group (FCG), an important Japanese media conglomerate of television and radio channels, magazine, newspaper, record and video game companies. The Fujisankei Communications Group owns about 100 companies, like Fuji TV in Japan, among others. FCI makes available production from FCG to the United States and the rest of the western world.

FCI is well-known for bringing in the past, in North America, video games that were released in Japan by Pony Canyon, another company from the Fujisankei Communications Group. In the late 1990s, FCI abandoned video game distribution to concentrate on television operations. It has contracts with television stations in New York City and California to air programming segments.

Since 1999, Fuji TV, through FCI, has forbidden foreign TV stations from subtitling its dramas, a practice that is criticized and has alienated some fans of the genre.

The company continues to be based in Manhattan, but has since moved from its original offices to its current location around 1988–1989. FCI also has secondary offices in the U.S., Europe and Egypt.
