Hello everyone. Today, I am introducing a company that, although it has released games, its main business is something unexpected. I'm Boss from Retro Video Game Republic.
Hello everyone~! Game manufacturers often release various products simultaneously, but the company we're introducing this time is quite amazing! You might find it reasonable once you hear about it. I'm Saori from Retro Video Game Republic!

About Yanoman?
Yanoman is a Japanese jigsaw puzzle maker.
Established in 1959. In 1974, developed the first domestic jigsaw puzzle manufacturing machine in Japan, which facilitated the spread of domestically produced jigsaw puzzles in an industry previously dominated by imports.
Initially focused on historical structures such as Mount Fuji and castles, which were a big hit. Entered the video game industry in 1990 and released many titles under “YANOMAN GAMES.”
Currently, they release a number of products related to Shigeru Mizuki-Sensei, famous for “GeGeGe no Kitaro.” On April 1, 2007, they also participated in the opening of the small theme park “GeGeGe no Yokai Paradise,” adjacent to the “Shigeru Mizuki Memorial Museum” in Tottori Prefecture.
What! This teacup-shaped puzzle is incredibly stylish......!
Personally, I find it amazing that a jigsaw puzzle maker is involved even in theme park construction! It seems they've released quite a few video games as well, and there are many good retro games in their software lineup!
Still active in multiple areas! Here's the lineup of software once released by the established maker, Yanoman!
