The Glory Quest studio has produced adult videos since at least June 10, 2000, when it released Sweet Doll 01 on VHS. In December 2019, , the largest adult video retailer in Japan, listed 3532 videos available for purchase under the Glory Quest studio, and 2110 videos under the GLORY QUEST label. The company releases its videos twice a month, at a rate of about 18–20 videos per month. On their website, www.gloryquest.tv, members can download videos and order Glory Quest DVDs. They also sell its products in stores throughout Japan. Glory Quest produces adult videos in various adult genres, including popular actresses in "big bust" videos. It has also made more extreme fetish videos under its Maniac label, including such genres as fisting, S&M, scat and, at one time, bestiality. Its Maniac Shemale, Transgender and Ultra Sex labels feature videos with transsexual actresses. Another notable genre for Glory Quest has been "elder porn", a fast-growing niche in Japanese pornography. As Glory Quest public relations representative Kayoko Iimura has said: "If we only make standard fare, we cannot beat other studios... so we wanted to make something new. A relationship between wife and an old father-in-law has enough twist to create an atmosphere of mystery and captivate viewers's hearts." Glory Quest's elder star is Shigeo Tokuda, born in 1934, who has "proved to be a goldmine for Glory Quest" with two "old man" series: Maniac Training of Lolitas and Forbidden Elderly Care. A third series, Big Tits Loving Grandfather Erotic Mischief, began in April 2008. Glory Quest, incorporated as GQE Inc., had capital of 3 million yen in 2010. Its CEO is Ken Miyasaka. It remains an independent company, and is not part of a conglomerate. Like other Japanese AV companies, it belongs to one of the voluntary "ethics groups" which regulate content and censorship: the Content Soft Association , a creation of the Soft On Demandgroup of companies.
