Blog:What are some of the weirdest Japanese developer names?

From what I can tell, out of over the 200 gaming companies in Japan, most of their names are really unique (and creatively awkward, if you think about it). I mean, one is literally named after an Italian phrase. Grezzo. Diamante grezzo. Diamond in the rough. Pretty cool, right? Then there’s NOISE (yes, that’s how their logo is styled as). The people behind Custom Robo. Not much history behind them (idk what they’re named after), but they are WAY under appreciated. And we also have Ganbarion, the people behind a majority of the One Piece video games as well as Jump Super Stars and Ultimate Stars. NO ONE HAS SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE. GIVE THEM RECOGNITION, DAMNIT!

ahem, sorry. I got carried away there. Anyway, yeah. Idk what the word “ganbari” means, but I’m guessing from the slogan “Ganbari-Switch-On!” it has a meaning behind it.

And then… good Lord. You’re going to question this, but there is also a company named Nude Maker. Yes. I said it. Nude Maker. Nude. Honestly, for a company named that, they really don’t develop any nudes (it would be really questionable if they did)…

I can’t imagine who even thought up of a name like that!

Ah, Japanese studios and their weird names. They never get old.

So what do you think? Do you have any more? No? OK I’m going to play some Kirby doo doo doo doo doo!
