Work Introdution


"Kantai Collection (KanColle)" is an online browser game developed and operated by KADOKAWA GAMES, LTD. and provided by DMM.com.

It's a whole new simulation browser game where a player formulates, cultivates, and enhances anthropomorphic "Kanmusu" which depicts World War II naval warships such as destroyer, cruiser, and aircraft carrier to make his/her own "Invincible Armada."

After the launch in 2013, it attracted fans through word of mouth communication over the Internet and became a niche motif PC browser game which was an unprecedented hit.

Comment of the game producer

We are very surprised to receive the award. We've been working heavily but have never dreamed that there was such a great future ahead of us, so this is the award by the support from every admiral ("Teitoku," KanColle users).

We are very much encouraged by receiving this award along with other great works.
Thank you so much. Please give continuous warm support for "KanColle" and "Kanmusu."

Kensuke Tanaka, Producer/Director of "Kantai Collection"
