Techn¿s Japan Corporation is a defunct Japanese video game developer, best known for the Kunio-kun (which includes Renegade, Super Dodge Ball and River City Ransom) and Double Dragon franchises. The company was also the owner of the American publishing subsidiary, American Techn¿s Inc.Initially operating from a single-room apartment, Techn¿s was founded in 1981 by three staff members of Data East. Their first game was Minky Monkey, released in 1982. Many of Techn¿s 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 Techn¿s at the time did not have the economical resource to distribute their own games at first.
