Overseas revenue for Japanese content keeps growing year after year, and work made in Japan is loved by people all over the world.

Yet when a work crosses borders, it runs into more than language - it runs into culture. We don’t see localization as “making the meaning understandable.” What matters is that people experience the emotion and moments the creators intended. Delivering that is what DICO’s high-context, creative localization is for.

Working closely with game studios, we realized there are many development challenges that have to be solved long before translation even begins. Responding to those needs, we expanded into game development itself and into solutions that support the whole process.

From planning and development to localization that reaches players worldwide, DICO is building a world where people everywhere can genuinely enjoy Japanese content.
