Besides aspiring to provide quality entertainment, POLOS’ specializes in supporting talented up-and-coming visual creators, providing them with both the financial means to produce their work and a medium to distribute it. With its international aspect, with more languages soon to be added, POLOS hopes to break down the cultural and language barriers that often isolate Japan from the rest of the world.

We hope to spread our network throughout the world by distributing the works of independent creators while continuing to discover and support new talents, as well as developing partnerships with other media, private companies and other organizations.  Our challenge is two-fold: expand from Japan to the world while bringing international contents to Japan.
