It was founded in 1981.
They had a policy of viewing games as systems (rules) and adding elements to evolve them.
When creating sequels to their series, they didn't reuse existing systems but aimed for entirely new creations.

The Kunio-kun series released by TECHNOS JAPAN debuted as an arcade game in 1986, shaking the gaming industry with its innovative ideas and systems, which can be considered the pioneer of side-scrolling beat 'em up action games.
They are also famous for pioneering the roots of belt-scrolling action, and many masterpieces might not have existed if it weren't for the series developed by TECHNOS JAPAN.
As the times changed, the gaming business gradually shrank, and in 2015, they announced the transfer of intangible property rights to Arc System Works.
I see. So, it seems that Arc System Works, which took over the rights, is currently releasing new content for the Kunio-kun series.
It seems so! There's a 35th-anniversary project in progress! But for now, let's check out TECHNOS JAPAN's software lineup!
