Human Corporation (ヒューマン株式会社 Hyūman kabushiki gaisha) was a Japanese computer and video game developer and publisher. The company produced games for a number of platforms, including Dreamcast, Game Boy, Nintendo 64, TurboGrafx-16, PC (Windows), PlayStation, Saturn, Sega CD, Super NES, TurboGrafx-CD, and WonderSwan.
The company is known for originating the popular Fire Pro Wrestling series of games, as well as other sports games such as Super Formation Soccer and Final Match Tennis, and racing video games such as Human Grand Prix and Fastest 1. They are also known for developing the first music rhythm video game Dance Aerobics (1987), early survival horror games such as Laplace no Ma (1987) and the Clock Tower series, the early survival game SOS, and the early open world adventure game Mizzurna Falls (1998).
On November 1, 1999, Human Corporation began to negotiate restructure with Tokyo Hachiōji district court over the approximately 4 billion yen outstanding debt. As part of the deal, the game creator school subsidiary was to be transferred. At the same time, the rights of Fire Pro Wrestling series, Twilight Syndrome series, Bakusou Dekotora series went to Spike Co., Ltd.
In January 2000, Human Corporation was declared bankrupt for failing to negotiate for a restructuring deal over the 3.79 billion yen (as of November 1999) outstanding debt.
Former Human members went on to form different development teams including Nude Maker, Sandlot, and Spike, and notable member Goichi Suda formed his own company, Grasshopper Manufacture, with former members.
