【TATSUJIN】Named After a Legendary Game! A Rising Game Developer Founded by Former Staff! What Kind of Company is TATSUJIN?
The gaming industry has seen many companies create legendary titles. Among them, one that shines brightly is TATSUJIN. This developer carries on the DNA of Toaplan, a pioneer of the golden age of shoot 'em up games, and its name itself is a testament to that legendary legacy.
TATSUJIN was founded by Masatoshi Yuge, a former developer at Toaplan. In 2017, he inherited Toaplan’s IP (intellectual property) and established TATSUJIN to take on new challenges in game development. The company’s name originates from Toaplan’s classic 1988 title, “TATSUJIN” (also known as “Truxton”. The name embodies the passion to revive past masterpieces while creating a new era of shoot 'em up games.
TATSUJIN’s strength lies not just in reviving past classics, but in updating them with modern technology and sensibilities. Their goal is not only to remaster legendary games but also to create new experiences that deliver the best gaming moments to players worldwide.
Games are more than just entertainment—they are a platform for creators to express themselves. TATSUJIN oversees everything from development to publishing to bring their vision to as many people as possible. Whether you’re an old-school arcade enthusiast or part of the new gaming generation, experiencing TATSUJIN’s titles will remind you of what makes games truly enjoyable.
TATSUJIN’s challenge is not a one-time endeavor. Reviving past masterpieces and developing new games are both driven by their unwavering commitment to pursuing what makes games truly fun.
The gaming industry constantly evolves, with trends shifting rapidly. Yet, the essence of making “fun games” remains unchanged. TATSUJIN stays true to that core principle while forging new paths. This isn’t just a journey of reviving classics—it’s an endless adventure.
The future of TATSUJIN is something you won’t want to miss.
