Naito, known for her work at Nickelodeon and Paramount, shared the news in a memo to staff, expressing gratitude for her time leading a talented team of storytellers and artists.

Paramount Global, post-merger with Skydance Media, is undergoing significant restructuring under David Ellison’s leadership.

She expanded her role to president of Nickelodeon Animation in 2020 and later took on overseeing Paramount Animation in 2021, contributing to projects like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie.

In her departure message, Naito expressed pride in revitalizing beloved characters and introducing new content for today’s audience. She thanked her teams for their collaboration, creativity, and kindness, leaving with warm wishes for their continued success.
