For the television network known as "Asia Vision", see Asia Vision (TV network).

Urban Vision Entertainment, Inc. works in Japanese animation (anime). The company was formed in July 1996 by Mataichiro Yamamoto, and is located in Los Angeles, California. Their goal is to mix an American storyline with Japanese animation. Urban Vision licenses and distributes anime with a darker mood. They work very closely with Madhouse, the anime production studio. They have three other labels: Lil' Vision, which deals with anime for a younger audience, AsiaVision, for Asian live action, and Ciudad, for Spanish-language movies.

AsiaVision is a production/distribution company created by Urban Vision. Like its anime company, they will focus on the horror, action and thriller genres of Asian movies.
