, the producer of ''Zillion'', founded the studio to obstruct the dispersing of the excellent staffs of the Tatsunoko branch. The members of the Tatsunoko Production annex, "" (named after the English word "chime"), which was led by Takayuki Goto, joined the Ishikawa's Tatsunoko Branch that used the same floor. Goto was also the character designer of Zillion. Kyoto Animation, one of the finishers of Zillion, supported Ishikawa and the "IG Tatsunoko Limited" was founded on December 15, 1987. The "IG" letters are referring to the initials of Ishikawa and Goto. The initial shareholders of the studio were Ishikawa, Goto, Hideaki Hatta ( Kyoto Animation), Tatsunoko Production, etc. Among "Production I.G" 's earliest most notable works is the feature-length cinematic anime adaptation of the '' Patlabor'' story, created by the group Headgear. In 1993, during the final stages of the production of ''

'', the company ended commercial relations with Tatsunoko Production, which was holding 20% of "IG Tatsunoko" 's stocks, and changed its name to the current "Production I.G" on September of that year. Thus, the film ''Patlabor 2'', released on August 1993, became the last product bearing the name "IG Tatsunoko". In early 1997, fellow Tatsunoko employee Koichi Mashimo made a suggestion to President Ishikawa. Mashimo had conceived the idea of a small studio that could work on small productions and "nurture" the creative spirit of its staff members. Ishikawa liked the idea and sponsored Mashimo's endeavor and studio

In 2006, Bee Train became independent and Ishikawa stepped down as an executive in the company. The two studios reunited in 2008 to work on '' Blade of the Immortal'', '' Batman: Gotham Knight'', and again in 2010 for '' Halo Legends''. In 1998, the company incorporated to become "Production I.G, Inc." Following that, Production I.G merged with ING, another production company founded by the same Mitsuhisa Ishikawa in 2000. In a Q&A session Ishikawa said:
It he I.G in Production I.Gstands for two words: ''itsumo'' (always) and ''genki'' (happy); you should ask, is that true? In reality, it stands for Ishikawa, and my artist collaborator's name, Takayuki Goto, the initials of our last names. But, now that I am the sole president, we kept the name.
