It was launched on September 1, 2011 as the Japanese version of Hulu, the U.S. video-on-demand joint venture of The Walt Disney Company, 21st Century Fox, and NBCUniversal. On February 27, 2014, Hulu's Japanese operations were acquired by Nippon Television and spun off to become a distinct entity.
The platform offers a library of television series from Nippon TV and other major domestic broadcasters as well as original programming, international films, and foreign seriese. Over the years, Hulu Japan has expanded its offerings beyond traditional video streaming; in October 2025, it launched an integrated e-comic service, allowing users to purchase and read digital manga directly within its app and website.
By March 2015, Hulu subscription's numbers had risen to 1 million memberships. As of October 5, 2021, Hulu Japan has a total of 2.8 million subscribers. As of 2022, the service was also the sixth highest-grossing subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) service in Japan.
