Flaggs

Flaggs is a Japanese entertainment company established on March 20, 2015, by founder Naoto Yoshie. The company focuses on developing and operating mobile games for smartphones, as well as producing in-game 2D animations and effects. Flaggs has been involved in several projects, including the joint development of "Stpr With!! (Sutowizu)," the first official smartphone game for the entertainment unit Sutopuri, and previously worked on titles like "HoneyWorks Premium Live" before the service ended.

The company's vision is to create a new era of entertainment, contributing to the industry by enabling creators to immerse themselves in their work. In October 2021, Flaggs became a subsidiary of Cygames, a major player in game development and publishing. This partnership was aimed at strengthening the organizational foundation for content creation and leveraging synergies between the two companies to produce new entertainment content. Flaggs has also undertaken new service development, such as the now-discontinued 'fingger' platform, which integrated gaming with live streaming. On June 16, 2025, the company announced the transfer of its animation production business to Hellarts Inc.
