Sanritsu (Sanritsu Denki Co., Ltd.) is an industrial company established in December 1973. It originally manufactured communications equipment and vending machines before expanding into arcade machines. In 1979, the company began developing its own hardware and software.

In addition to manufacturing, developing, and publishing its own video games, Sanritsu also developed a number of arcade and home games for Sega. This relationship blossomed into a joint venture called SIMS, established on June 12, 1991. Sanritsu game staff went to the new company, which at some point became a subsidiary of Sega. But Sega's ownership ended on June 25, 2004, when company president Noboru Machida took over all stock.
