Right Stuf Inc. (formerly known as The Right Stuf International Inc.) is an American video publisher and distributor of video programming that specializes in Asian entertainment (anime and live action films). The company since 2022 is owned by Crunchyroll, a joint venture run by Sony through its Sony Pictures and Sony Music Entertainment Japan divisions, with the latter company running it via Aniplex. It has several divisions including: Nozomi Entertainment (production), RightStufAnime.com (online store) and 5 Points Pictures (live action). In March 2012, Right Stuf launched 5 Points Pictures, its live action label. Right Stuf also offers production services and distribution for Japanese labels Sunrise Inc., Eleven Arts, Pony Canyon, and its corporate sibling, Aniplex of America. Right Stuf was founded on July 31, 1987, by Robert "Todd" Ferson and Shawne P. Kleckner. The company is headquartered in Grimes, Iowa. The company's e-commerce site at www.rightstufanime.com is the largest independent seller of anime, manga, and Japanese collectibles in North America. On August 4, 2022, Right Stuf was acquired by Sony, and made a part of the Crunchyroll brand. As a result of the acquisition, Right Stuf ceased distribution of all hentai content on its storefronts, for which it and Crunchyroll drew criticism from fans. Prior to the acquisition, Crunchyroll, then known as Funimation, had partnered with its subsidiary Nozomi Entertainment to stream its select titles on the FunimationNOW app in 2019. On December 8, 2022, Kleckner said that he would be leaving the company after 35 years of being its co-founder and CEO.
