Gazelle Co., Ltd.[a] was a Japanese video game developer founded in 1994 by former Toaplan employees after the latter company declared bankruptcy the same year.
After Toaplan declared bankruptcy, Gazelle was founded by Tatsuya Uemura, Junya Inoue,[1] Mikio Yamaguchi, Kaneyo Ōhira, and Yoshitatsu Sakai.
The new firm originally focused on printed circuit board exportation prior to game development.
According to Uemura, his former Toaplan CEO sold the company's IPs to both Gazelle and Raizing but doubted about the procedure's overall legality.
[4][6] Prior to ceasing game development and closure, many of the company's staff later joined Cave and Raizing.
