- For the U.S. record label, see King Records (USA).
King Records (キングレコード Kingu Rekōdo?) is a Japanese record company, founded in 1931 as a division of Japanese publisher Kodansha. It became and began operating as an independent entity in the 1950's, but remains part of the publisher's Otowa Group. The label has had huge success with Two-Mix, Miho Nakayama, Megumi Hayashibara, Masami Okui, Yuki Uchida, Nana Mizuki and Yuko Ogura. Now one of Japan's largest record companies not to be owned by a multinational entity, it is headquartered in Tokyo.
Its Starchild label, managed by animation producer Toshimichi Otsuki, specialises in animation music and film.
King Records has also released video games for the PC-88, Famicom, and MSX2 computers.
During the 1990's, it released albums produced by Konami Music Entertainment.
