Arthell Isom and his twin brother Darnell helped create the first major Black-owned anime studio in Tokyo, Japan. D'ART Shtajio, a 2-D animation studio based in Tokyo that focuses on producing Japanese anime that merges with Westernized culture.

The word Shtajio is a play on words in both English and Japanese to reflect our commitment to building a solid foundation centered on our artists and clients. Shtaji ga daiji: "The Foundation is Important" is the original phrase that we seek to build on while conveying that we are a Sutajio: The Japanese word for Studio. Alternatively, we spell it Shtajio because of the kanji Shtaji used by the background artists here in Japan to mean - the underpainting, or foundation of art. Shtaji+Sutajio = Shtajio
