This started life as the Kabukiza which opened in or around 1900 as an independent operated theater, but became part of Shochiku’s ownership in 1920 and officially became a Shochiku-owned theater.
The theater was once destroyed by a fire in 1936, and the theater was immediately rebuilt afterward. It reopened on December 31 of that same year which went under the name “Kyogoku Theater”. It was renamed the Kyoei Theater shortly before World War II.
Throughout the remainder of its history, the theater went under the names “Shochiku Eiga Theater” and “SY Eiga Theater” before closing for the final time in November 2001.
