A.P.P.P. (Another Push Pin Planning Company) was founded by Nomura Kazufumi in 1984. A.P.P.P. was involved in the planning and production of a wide variety of animation for television, motion picture, computer software, TV commercials and direct-to-video markets. A.P.P.P. was also involved in publishing music tapes, CDs, and books for the Japanese market. On June 10, 2021, Nomura passed away, and since A.P.P.P.'s staff had shrunk significantly by that point, no one offered to take over the position of CEO. Thus, Nomura's familiars liquidated the company's assets and the company was dissolved on July 31 of that same year.
