“Creativity to make life more enjoyable” encapsulates our philosophy. The company name comes from the Japanese phrase “pin to kuru,” expressing when an idea clicks. The English name “PinCool” is pronounced similarly and is stylized to include the English word “cool” as well.
As an entertainment production company, our core business is the design and production of games for consoles, but we’re not stopping there. We will take advantage of our breadth of experience to do design and production work across the entertainment industry, including mobile games, arcade games, manga, anime, film, toys, theater, and events.
We offer something you won’t find anywhere else. We aim to deliver fun experiences to people across the globe through projects that take advantage of the kind of new ideas that come from untethered creative freedom.
We also aim to release smaller titles while we continue our work on large-scale titles. Look forward to what lies in store in the adventure of PinCool!
