Sanzigen Inc. (株式会社サンジゲン, Kabushiki-gaisha Sanjigen) is a Japanese animation studio specializing in CGI animation. The studio was founded in 2003, later becoming formally incorporated in 2006 by former employees of Gonzo, and has contributed to various anime series and films.[2] Its name is derived from the Japanese word for "three-dimensional" (三次元, sanjigen). Sanzigen joined the Japanese joint holding company Ultra Super Pictures with studios Ordet and Trigger, that would later be joined by Liden Films.

On 13 December 2019, Bushiroad announced that it had acquired 8.2% of Sanzigen. Ultra Super Pictures now owns 75.4% of Sanzigen and studio president Hiroaki Matsuura owns 16.4% of the company.[3]

On 10 February 2020, it was announced that Sanzigen had formed a partnership with Millepensee to form a new CG studio lXlXl.[4]

On 7 September 2025, Sanzigen founded their 2D animation brand Nichicaline, focusing on 2-dimensional animation works to differentiate from their main brand.[5]
