Originally opened in December 1959, I cannot find the original name of the theater due to lost information.
Right after the O.S. Cinerama nearby closed in February 1991, the theater was renamed “New O.S. Theater”, and in April 1997, it was twinned under the auditorium names “O.S. Theater” (321 seats, now 267 seats) and “O.S. Theater CAP” (137 seats, now 121 seats).
In December 2005, the “O.S. Theater CAP” auditorium was renamed “O.S. Masterpiece Theater”. This was short-lived, and in October 2007, the theater was renamed “TOHO Cinemas Umeda Annex” and both theaters were renamed “Screens 9 and 10” as a nearby adjacent to the 8-screen TOHO Cinemas Umeda at the Hankyu Entertainment Park.

This opened as the Umeda O.S. Theater, opening on Christmas Eve 1959 as a 578-seat 70mm single-screener, but could accommodate 1,500 people including the large standing room. It was first owned by O.S. Eigeki and first managed by Naonobu Kawabata. It was renamed the “New O.S. Theater” on February 12, 1991, following the O.S. Cinerama’s closure nearby.
Sometime during the late-1990s, it was twinned under the auditorium names “O.S. Theater” and “O.S. Theater CAP”, which the CAP auditorium was renamed the “O.S. Masterpiece Theater” in December 2005. This lasted until closing on September 24, 2007. The theater reopened as the TOHO Cinemas Umeda Annex the following month in October 2007.
