In 2006 Tameike started his own adult video production company, named Goro Tameike, which released its first productions in February 2006. The company is part of the large Japanese porn conglomerate, the Hokuto Corporation, and it markets its products through Hokuto's sales outlet, the DMM website.{{cite web|url=http://www.outvision.co.jp/maker/index.html|script-title=ja:メーカー一覧を見る|publisher=Outvision|language=Japanese|accessdate=2008-12-07|archive-date=2015-02-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150218152502/http://www.outvision.co.jp/maker/index.html|url-status=dead}} The studio releases about seven to eight original videos per month, mostly directed by Tameike. Their works are primarily in the Mature Woman genre.{{cite web|url=http://www.tameikegoro.jp/works/-/list/=/article=genre/id=41/|title=ジャンル 美熟女 (Genre: Beautiful Mature Woman)|publisher=www.tameikegoro.jp|accessdate=2010-04-29|language=Japanese|archive-date=2010-05-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100501233718/http://www.tameikegoro.jp/works/-/list/=/article=genre/id=41/|url-status=dead}}

The Moodyz studio used a special "Goro Tameike" label for videos directed by Tameike which used product codes of the type "MDYD-xxx", with MDYD-001, Beautiful Mature Woman Illustrated starring Reona Azabu, being released in December 2003. The Moodyz video Long Legged Mature Woman with Mayumi Kusunoki was coded MDYD-032 and when Tameike founded his own company, its videos continued using the same sequence starting with MDYD-033 for A Friend's Mother starring Risa Kaneko.

The Goro Tameike studio entered videos in the 2008 and 2009 AV Grand Prix competitions. Their 2008 entry Sayuri Shiraishi, Stepmother Slave won the Best Mature Video award, and their 2009 nominee, Slave Mother-in-Law, won a Special Award in the Mature Woman Video category. The company also entered the 2014 AV Open competition where its video 27-Year-Old Talent Married For Five Years, She's Taking Non-Nude Erotica to the Limit won the Middleweight Class Second Place Award.
