Takeru, also known as Sur Dé Wave, was a Japanese video game developer.[1]

History

[edit]

Takeru published Cocoron, developed by K2 in 1991.[2] The game was directed by Akira Kitamura, who had previously directed Mega Man 1 and 2.[3]

Takeru developed Little Samson, which was published by Taito.[4]

Takeru's 1991 adventure game Nostalgia 1907 sold poorly, and financially hurt the company.[5]

A port of Cocoron to the PC-Engine, titled PC Cocoron was announced, however, it was unreleased.[6][7]

As Sur dé Wave they also released a Game Boy car adapter power cable[8] and a game controller by the name of Mega Blaster.[1]
