Chacott Co., Ltd. is a Japanese company specializing in ballet and dance supplies. It is a subsidiary of Onward Holdings and a member of the Japan Sports Dance Promotion Association.
The company acts as a sponsoring corporation for various ballet performances in Japan. The company name Chacott is derived from the name of its founder, Makoto Tsuchiya (土屋誠), with the syllable “ma” removed. The 1987 acquisition of Freed of London had long been Tsuchiya’s dream; it had been the ballet supply company he had admired since founding Chacott.
