History
[edit | edit source]CTW Inc. (originally CTW株式会社) was founded in August 2013, with Ryuichi Sasaki as president. CTW transitioned to developing HTML5-based browser games in the mid-2010s.[4]
In October 2018, CTW launched its gaming platform, G123, which provides instant-play games primarily adapted from popular anime and manga franchises. By 2024, its users had increased to more than 500 million.[5]
In 2021, CTW began expanding its international operations and released localized versions of its games in English and other languages.[6]
In 2023, CTW reorganized under a Cayman Islands entity as CTW Cayman.[7] Two years later, in 2025, CTW filed to list on the Nasdaq as CTW Cayman.[1]
In August 6, 2025, CTW Cayman was listed on the Nasdaq. [8]
