FuRyu Corporation is a Japanese entertainment company based in Shibuya, Tokyo, established on April 1, 2007, with business transferred in whole from OMRON Entertainment Co., Ltd. [1] The company’s name derives from the Japanese word “fūryū” (風流), an ancient aesthetic concept associated with entertainment and refined beauty, rooted in Kyoto’s Gion Festival tradition. [2]
Design and History
On April 1, 2015, FuRyu announced a corporate brand renewal, changing its brand symbol and introducing a new brand slogan: “Precious days, always.” [3] The company stated that its belief of “delivering fun, joy, and surprise to everyone” is encapsulated in this statement. [4]

The mark is rendered in blue and gray, establishing a recognizable presence for the Japan entertainment company. The design scales cleanly from app icons to large-format signage, ensuring the brand reads consistently across every context. Based in Japan, FuRyu leverages its visual identity to capture attention and communicate the excitement of content and experiences. The interplay of blue and gray produces a cohesive brand system that translates effectively across corporate materials, signage, and digital media.
Meaning and Symbolism
The brand slogan “Precious days, always” expresses FuRyu’s attitude of delivering new fun, joy, and surprise to everyone every day.
