Kogado Studio (株式会社工画堂スタジオ) is a Japanese company which currently deals in graphic design and video game development.

The company was founded in 1916 as Zuan to Hanga Tani Kogado (図案と版画 谷工画堂) and originally handled design and printing. In the late 1960s Kogado entered the toy market and handled the Japanese localization of board games from Milton Bradley before creating original board games for Takara. The company later entered video game development in the 1980s.[1]

Kogado has released adventure, strategy, and bishōjo games for the MSX, MSX2, PlayStation 2 and PC, including such titles as Symphonic Rain, Gadget Trial, Little Witch Parfait, Tristia of the Deep-Blue Sea (which has been made an original video animation), and Power Dolls. The studio has a number of teams working together.
