Technos Japan : ウィキペディア英語版
Technōs Japan

was a Japanese video game developer, best known for the ''Double Dragon'' Franchises and ''Kunio-kun'' (which includes ''Renegade'', ''Super Dodge Ball'' and ''River City Ransom''). As of June 2015, Arc System Works owns the intellectual properties of Technōs Japan.〔http://www.polygon.com/2015/6/12/8771015/arc-system-works-acquires-technos-brands-double-dragon〕
== History ==

Initially operating from a single-room apartment, Technōs was founded in 1981 by three staff members of Data East. Their first game was ''Minky Monkey'', released in 1982. Many of Technōs Japan's earlier games were often published or distributed by other companies, particularly Data East (as was the case with ''Karate Champ'') and Taito, as Technōs at the time did not have the economical resource to distribute their own games at first.
''Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun'' ("Hot Blooded Tough Guy Kunio"), a side-scrolling beat-em-up released in 1986 about a high school student who fought thugs and delinquents from other schools, was the company's first big hit in Japan. ''Kunio-kun'' was released in the west as ''Renegade'' with the game's graphics changed to make the game marketable in the overseas market. Technōs would then produced an Nintendo Entertainment System version of the game, which would be Technōs' first game for the home console market. Technōs Japan's subsequent arcade beat-em-up, ''Double Dragon'', was a big success worldwide when it was released in 1987, which also resulted in an NES version of the game produced, as well as licensed versions produced by other companies for various platforms.
The success of ''Kunio-kun'' led to the production of numerous spin-offs and sequels starring the same character produced for the 8-bit Family Computer platform in Japan and later for the Game Boy and Super Famicom, resulting in more than twenty games starring Kunio by the mid-1990s, many of which were rule-bending sports games. A few ''Kunio-kun'' games were localized for the North American market; namely ''Super Dodge Ball'', ''River City Ransom'' (considered by critics to be a cult classic) and ''Nintendo World Cup'', but none maintain any connection with each other. Technōs would attempt to remedy this by attempting to localize several ''Kunio-kun'' under the ''Crash 'n the Boys'' label, but only ''Crash 'n the Boys: Street Challenge'' was released (the game's ending features a teaser for ''Ice Challenge'', which was unreleased).
Technōs also released two arcade sequels to ''Double Dragon'': ''Double Dragon II: The Revenge'' in 1988 and ''Double Dragon 3: The Rosetta Stone'' in 1990 (the latter was developed by an external development team at East Technology), and produced the respective NES versions of those games, as well as ''Super Double Dragon'' in 1992, an original installment for the Super NES. An American-produced ''Double Dragon'' animated series and a live-action film were also made as well.
Outside the ''Double Dragon'' and ''Kunio-kun'' games, Technōs produced a few original games for the arcade and home markets such as ''U.S. Championship V'Ball'', ''The Combatribes'' and ''Shadow Force'', as well as two ''WWF'' arcade games (''WWF Superstars'' and ''WWF Wrestlefest''), but most of these games did not achieve the same kind of success that ''Kunio-kun'' and ''Double Dragon'' achieved. The company's last few games were produced for the Neo Geo hardware, which include a ''Double Dragon'' fighting game based on the movie, their second and last fighting game ''Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer'', and a Neo-Geo sequel to ''Super Dodge Ball''. By 1996, Technōs Japan declared bankruptcy and ceased operations.
