Together with my colleagues, I wanted to create Japan’s leading game company that influences people around the world. For this reason, the game division of Akatsuki Co., Ltd. was spun off into “Akatsuki Games Co., Ltd.” in order to prepare for a deeper and longer challenge.

Born in the 1980’s, I grew up surrounded by high quality entertainment, such as games, manga and anime. I am grateful for the environment that I was given, and therefore love them from the bottom of my heart. Especially in the 1990s and 2000s, the Japanese game industry has made great progress and had a tremendous influence on the world. However, over the last 30 years, game industries in each country have grown, and the position of Japanese games in the world is shifting.

Luckily, even in this situation, Akatsuki’s game business grew during the 2010s, when social games were booming. We have big plans already drawn out for the future and a tightly knit team of professionals, ready to turn them into reality.

Creating meaningful and games imbued with “why,” Akatsuki Games aims to make global smash hits. Moreover, we will continue to grow and evolve alongside the industry's technological and cultural advances, into a leading game company that can represent our country on a global stage.
