Khara, Inc. (株式会社カラー, Kabushiki-gaisha Karā; stylized as khara, Inc.) is a Japanese animation studio, located in Suginami, Tokyo, best known for its work on the Rebuild of Evangelion film tetralogy. Studio Khara (スタジオカラー, Sutajio Karā) is the primary animation production studio. It was founded by Hideaki Anno on May 17, 2006, and was shown publicly at the beginning of August when recruitment notices were posted on his website; Anno remains its president. The name khara comes from the Greek word χαρά, meaning joy. It is a full member of the Association of Japanese Animations.

The copyright for Evangelion was transferred to khara in 2014 from GAINAX.

On June 7, 2024, khara's predecessor GAINAX completed its bankruptcy and closed with Studio Khara gaining much of the intellectual property from the former studio, but the specifics were not disclosed.
