Company information
IdeaPocket split off from the
Attackers corporation and was founded as a separate entity in 2002

Hokuto Corporation group of companies. It had previously been a stand-alone label used on works produced by the

The first of the "Angel" videos, released in December 1998 and labeled AN-001, starred actress Ryo Hitomi
while a later installment in the series featured
AV Idol Sally Yoshino. Further labels were later added
and the company now has a reputation as one of the top studios in the Japanese adult video industry combining high production values and good performances.
The company website, www.ideapocket.com, which has been online since June 19, 2002, has an audience drawn almost 79% from Japan and about 3% each from Hong Kong, the United States, and Indonesia. IdeaPocket releases about 17-18 videos per month comprising both original works and compilations and the large Japanese online video distributor DMM (part of the
Hokuto Corporation) listed more than 1175 DVD and nearly 450 VHS titles available under the IdeaPocket name in mid-2010. Several of the studio's new videos have also been released in
Blu-ray format. IdeaPocket released its first

World Aipoke Championship title.
At present, the company retails most of their content via their official website and
Hokutu Corporation's DMM and Fanza platforms, generating hundreds of millions in sales globally. In fact, many fans have even requested that the company incorporate subtitles as part of their videos to enhance the viewing experience.

Hokuto Corporation associated companies.
In 2008, the IdeaPocket video ''High School Girl and Sex'' with Rion Hatsumi won the Best Title award.
