Anicom Holdings, Inc. (アニコム損害保険株式会社) is based in ,Tokyo, Japan with its headquarters in Shinjuku. Anicom is Japan's first pet/animal intended healthcare insurance company specialist.

Origin
In the year 2000, Nobuaki Komori (小森伸昭), having already graduated from his role at Tokio Marine, set out to start a mutual aid health guarantee plan aimed towards pet health insurance known as "Anicom." Soon after, Anicom became a great success riding on the pet boom of Japan and increasing its subscriber numbers. As of December 2007, Anicom's total number of subscribers exceeded well over 294,000, working with over 4,000 animal hospitals and clinics and exceeded more than one million benefit payments making it the biggest in its class of pet healthcare insurance businesses in Japan.

Japan's First Pet Insurance Specialist
Thus far, Anicom has been managed as a mutual aid enterprise by members of Anicom Club. Being a pioneer as Japan's first animal insurance specialist in the insurance industry, Anicom made their request to the FSA of Japan and at the same time increased the capital stock amount. Anicom also acquired experts and accounting specialists from insurance companies like Tokio Marine and the foreign-owned Allianz, further strengthening their management system with officials, auditors and cabinet advisors.

As a result, on December 26th, 2007 the subsidiary company, Anicom Property and Casualty Insurance Corporation (アニコム損保), acquired the property and casualty insurance license from the Financial Services Agency of Japan becoming the first pet insurance specialist company in Japan.

In addition, Anicom Holdings, Inc. was listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (MOTHERS listing) on March 3rd, 2010.
