Kinshi Kan, Movie theater from 1929 in Taiwan

Kinshi Kan opened on 25 December 1929 at 1-chome 4-banchi, Sakae-machi, in what is now Yancheng District, Kaohsiung. After a 1935 renovation its entrance faced Dayong Road and the three-storey hall held over 1,000 seats, with boxes on the second and third floors. The building was demolished in 2002; the site is now Exit 2 of Yanchengpu MRT Station.

The theater was established on December 25, 1929, marking the beginning of a new phase in Taiwan's film industry during the Japanese colonial period. This moment was important for how entertainment developed in the region.

The name Kinshi Kan refers to the golden kite that, in Japanese myth, guided Emperor Jimmu; the theatre opened on 25 December 1929 under owner Izumi Kanpei, head of the Kaohsiung temperance society. After 1945 it became the Guangfu Theatre, run by the provincial Kuomintang committee, and in the 1960s it was Yancheng's best-equipped cinema.

The theater was demolished in 2002 to make way for the Kaohsiung MRT, and the site is now Exit 2 of Yanchengpu Station. Nothing of the building remains, so there is no facade or interior to visit; look for the station exit on Dayong Road where the entrance once faced.

The name 金鵄館 refers to the golden kite that, according to Japanese legend, alighted on Emperor Jimmu's bow during his eastern campaign. The theater's first owner, Izumi Kanpei, was chairman of the Kaohsiung temperance society, and the cinema kept close ties with that organization.
