Genki

ATTENTION: This entry is a WORK IN PROGRESS
This entry is not finished. Please use with caution.

Genki Co., Ltd. (元気株式会社) was established on October 16, 1990. [1] Virtually all of its founding members came from Sega AM2 [2] [3] [4]; a notable exception was Takaharu Mita, who previously worked at Zap and Quest, then left Genki in 1992 to start Geo Factory.

The company found international success in the late '90s with the Tokyo Xtreme Racer series. It became a consolidated subsidiary of pachinko maker Daikoku Denki in February 2006. [5]

After a period of poor sales for its original games, Genki became insolvent. In 2008, it was renamed CLK (ＣＬＫ株式会社), and the game software business was spun off into a new company called GK (ＧＫ株式会社), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Daikoku Denki [6] that was eventually renamed Genki. CLK, the original corporate entity, was dissolved on April 25, 2008. [7]

Genki had a majority-owned subsidiary established in May 1996 called Doda that specialized in racing games; Genki acquired it outright and dissolved it in 2000. Genki also set up a development subsidiary in Singapore in 2004 called G-Gadget; it broke away and became Gevo Entertainment in 2006. A mobile games development studio called Genki Mobile was established in February 2005; it was renamed to And Joy in June 2013 [8] and is no longer part of the Daikoku group.
