Fizz Sound Creation

Fizz Sound Creation (フィズサウンドクリエイション, Fizz Sound Creation) is a sound effects company that was founded in 1971 as Ishida Sound Production, Inc., but changed to its current name in 1980. They are responsible for a majority of laser, explosion, and mecha sound effects that are heard in most modern anime, although some of their library predates 1971. Frequent clients of theirs over the years have been Sunrise, Nippon Animation, Toei Animation, Tatsunoko Production, Shin-Ei Animation, Pierrot, Group TAC, Ajia-do Animation Works, Xebec and GoHands.

While Fizz has its fair share of proprietary sound effects, they also use several foreign libraries such as the Hanna-Barbera Sound Effects Library, for example, which they have used since its founding and has used much more often since the 1990s.
