Genki Co., Ltd. (元気株式会社) was established on October 16, 1990. Virtually all of the founding staff appears to have previously worked at Sega on titles including Dynamite Dux and Sword of Vermilion; a notable exception was Takaharu Mita, who left a few years later 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. [1]

After a period of poor sales for its original games, Genki became insolvent. In 2008, Genki 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 [2], which was eventually renamed Genki. CLK, Genki's original corporate entity, was dissolved on April 25, 2008. [3]
