was a Japanese film studio active in the early years of cinema in Japan.
==Background== Fukuhōdō was founded in 1910 when Kenzō Tabata built a chain of modern, concrete movie theaters in Tokyo. To supply these eight theaters, Tabata started a production arm, with a studio located in Nippori. The company also enjoyed a huge success importing the French film Zigomar, which "had a major impact on Japanese film culture".
