In 1981, he was formally expelled from his university.
On February 14, 1982, he opened "General Products" as a part of his parents company to sell SF Goods in Osaka.
Before opening his shop, he borrowed money from his parents and got permission to use term of general products from Larry Niven.
In this year, he got married.
In 1986, he established Gainax as an Anime studio and isolated General Products from his parents company.
