Although the studio gained significant commercial success from their adaptations of Koihime Musō and especially YuruYuri, most of their works have been associated with moe or yuri. The studio is also known for more traditional romantic shows such as Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun, Plastic Memories, and Tada Never Falls in Love, and for slice of life comedy series such as Gabriel DropOut and Himouto! Umaru-chan.
In recent times the studio gained a wide popularity due to the anime adaptation of Oshi no Ko, a manga series written by Aka Akasaka and illustrated by Mengo Yokoyari.
In July 2024, Kadokawa announced that it had acquired Doga Kobo.[1]
