Red Entertainment: History and Key Facts

Red Entertainment (株式会社レッド・エンタテインメント, Kabushiki-gaisha Reddo Entateinmento) is a video game developer and publisher based in Japan. Originally founded in 1976 as Red Company (レッドカンパニー, Reddo Kanpanī) (though it did not begin doing business until 1985), it was reorganized and succeeded by a new company on December 4, 2000, under its current moniker of Red Entertainment.

The name "RED" comes from "Royal Emperor Dragon". In 2011, the company was acquired by Chinese game developer UltiZen Games Limited. In 2014, Red Entertainment was sold to Oizumi Corporation.
