Animax is an Asian pay television channel owned by KC Global Media Asia. The channel was originally owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment, and took its name from the Japanese satellite TV network; which was then-majority owned by subsidiary Sony Pictures Entertainment Japan. The channel would be sold to its current owners on January 1, 2020.
Animax is the first television channel in Asia dedicated to anime, and was initially launched in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia in January 2004. The channel primarily broadcasts Japanese language programming (including same-day simulcasts, and other anime-related content) through English-language feeds in Southeast Asia (excluding Brunei), South and East Asia (excluding Mainland China).
