Tose (トーセ) is a Japanese video game company responsible for developing a large number of games under contract for other developers. They take great pride in refusing to acknowledge their work, under the notion that they are a "ninja developer" — leading those interested in finding out what they did to have to hunt down the truth themselves. They did go public on a number of occasions, primarily related to work with Nintendo on their The Legendary Starfy series.
