HISTORY

Yakuto started out as a side project by original founders James Gratton and Jordan Kirk. Having never made a game before, they spent two years crafting Table Tennis Touch. In 2014, the game launched to rave reviews, hit the top of the charts and Yakuto was born.

Six years later and with two more games under their belt, Yakuto has grown to a talented team of 20+. Yakuto continue to craft beautiful sports games designed for mobile.
