(株式会社竜の子プロダクション or 株式会社タツノコプロダクション, Kabushiki gaisha Tatsunoko Purodakushon), often shortened to Tatsunoko Pro (竜の子プロ or タツノコプロ, Tatsunoko Puro), is a Japanese animation company. Tatsunoko (タツノコ) is the Japanese word for seahorse, hence the use of a seahorse as the company's logo. However, it can also mean Tatsu's child (竜の子), after Tatsuo Yoshida, founder of the company and creator of many of its earliest works such as Mach Go Go Go, Tekkaman, and the Time Bokan series.
  • Tatsunoko (タツノコ, sometimes written as 竜の子) is Japanese for "seahorse," hence the use of a seahorse as the company's logo. However, to some fans, Tatsunoko can also translate to "Tatsu's child;" figuratively, each anime is the brainchild of the late Tatsuo Yoshida, founder of the company. Many of Tatsunoko's titles were inspired by superhero comic books given to Yoshida and brothers Kenji and Toyoharu (Ippei Kuri) by American soldiers after the defeat of Japan in World War II.
