Hitmaker is a former internal development studio owned by Sega. It was founded in 2000 largely on the remains of Sega AM3.

AM3 was a dominant force within Sega throughout the 1990s, however had been very much arcade-orientated by design. With Hitmaker, this focus shifted more towards home consoles, but as the arcade section did not go away, this led to Hitmaker producing the vast majority of Sega games during the 2000-2004 period.
