Red Entertainment (株式会社レッド・エンタテインメント Kabushiki-gaisha Reddo Entateinmento) is a video game developer and publisher based in Japan. Formerly known as the Red Company (レッドカンパニー Reddo Kanpanī) since its founding in 1976 (though it did not begin doing business until 1985), it was reorganized under its current moniker on December 4, 2000. While Red Company as a public corporation dates back to the mid-1980s, the first title released under the Red Entertainment brand was Gungrave on July 17, 2002. The name "RED" comes from "Royal Emperor Dragon". In 2011, the company was acquired by Chinese game developer UltiZen Games Limited.
