Origin of Company Name
Looking up the word “amata” in a Japanese dictionary will yield the definition “a large quantity; abundance.”
But in addition to merely describing a large number of something, the word was also used in the olden days to mean
both “very” and “great” in expressing the degree of matters.
As such, with the gathering of “many” talents, and encompassing the determination to go forward as a company that will create
“tremendous” entertainment, “AMATA” was chosen as the company name.
