Koei Tecmo Holdings Co., Ltd. is a Japanese video game developer and publisher specializing in interactive entertainment software. The company produces and distributes a diverse range of digital content, including console and PC games, mobile titles, and downloadable expansions. Its operations also encompass licensing of intellectual property for merchandising, animation and other cross-media initiatives.
The modern entity was formed in April 2009 through the merger of two established game studios, Koei Co., Ltd., founded in 1978, and Tecmo Co., Ltd., founded in 1967. This consolidation unified a rich history of strategy and action franchises, allowing the combined organization to leverage shared resources in development, marketing and global distribution.
Koei Tecmo’s portfolio features long-running series such as Dynasty Warriors, known for its large-scale battles; Dead or Alive, a fighting game franchise; Ninja Gaiden, an action-adventure staple; and Atelier, a role-playing game series focused on alchemy and exploration. The company continues to expand into digital and live-service models, offering downloadable content and community events to extend the lifespan of its titles.
Headquartered in Yokohama, Japan, Koei Tecmo serves markets in Asia, North America, Europe and other regions through regional subsidiaries and partnerships. The company’s leadership team is headed by President and CEO Yoshihiro Hayashi, under whom it pursues strategic growth in new platforms, emerging technologies and cross-border collaborations.
