Takumi Corporation

Takumi Corporation was a Japanese game development company formed after the bankruptcy of Toaplan in 1994. When Toaplan was dissolved, the staffers split off to form several companies: CAVE, Takumi, and Gazelle. To our knowledge, Takumi is the only company to create direct sequels of Toaplan IPs, such as Kyuukyoku Tiger II.

Takumi games are typically known for their very high bullet counts, wild and agressive difficulty style, bullet manipulation mechanics (such as reflecting and absorbing bullets), and multiplier-based scoring systems that result in astronomically high scores. The Giga Wing series, in particular, can achieve scores up to the quintillions.
