SNK Playmore (often referred to as SNK) is a Japanese video game company. SNK is an acronym for "Shin Nihon Kikaku," which is Japanese for "New Japan Project." The original SNK was founded on July 1978 by Eikichi Kawasaki, but ended on October 22, 2001. Anticipating the end of that company, Eikichi Kawaski founded Playmore in August 2001, which in 2003 became SNK Playmore.
