Cross (クロス Kurosu?) is a Japanese adult video (AV) studio located in Tokyo at the Ebisu Garden Place Tower.
Cross was founded by directors Matsushima Cross (松嶋クロス) and Innjean Koga (インジャン古河) in late 2005, the event being announced at a press conference at a club in Tokyo's Shinjuku district on October 19, 2005. Cross had previously been a director for AV studios Kuki, Max-A and Try-Heart Corporation while Koga had formerly directed for V&R Planning. The studio's first videos, labeled with the production codes CRPD-001 to CRPD-010, were released on November 19, 2005 and included AV Idols An Nanba and Riko Tachibana among the actresses. Matsushima Cross announced his retirement from AV and left the company in June 2007.
As of October 2011, the studio had released about 450 original and compilation videos, an average of about six to seven videos per month since the studio's origin in 2005. Cross compilation videos which use scenes from previous original Cross videos use production codes of the form CRAD-xxx with CRAD-048 coming out in October 2011. Cross distributes its videos for DVD sales and online viewing through the Hokuto Corporation via their DMM website. Yamada Kensuke (山田 健介) is listed as the Manager of Operations for the company.
In addition to Matsushima Cross, a number of directors, past and present, have also made videos with Cross. The most prominent among them has been Dragon Nishikawa who had directed over 200 videos or nearly half of all Cross productions by late 2011.
