JoWooD opens Japanese Office
Following the founding of JoWooD Productions UK Ltd., Austrian parent company
JoWooD Productions Software AG has announced the opening of an office in Tokyo,
Japan with immediate effect. The office will be responsible for marketing and
sales of JoWooD titles in Japan and South Korea. JoWooD has also confirmed the
appointment of Hardy Fujiwara, an experienced veteran of the Asian software
entertainment industry, as General Manager of the new office. The opening of a
dedicated branch in Japan secures direct access to one of the significant

tremendous potential, especially in the console sector. We are the first
publisher from within the German speaking territories to open a dedicated Japan
office. Our main objective is to identify and adapt to the needs and demands of
Japanese gamers and we recognize the necessity to employ experienced personnel
from Japan to achieve this.”
