About Okashi Studios

Okashi Studios is a multimedia startup company based in the San Francisco Bay Area (Fremont, California, to be exact).

Our current staff is primarily composed of artists, writers, and programmers, sharing common interests in anime/manga, gaming, and Japanese culture.

About Shira Oka

Shira Oka: Second Chances is an anime-themed video game under development by Okashi Studios.

For more information, visit the Shira Oka website.

Although ren'ai games have been available in Japanese since the '80s, the selection of high-quality games for English speakers has been relatively bleak so far. Okashi Studios seeks to change this by creating an original ren'ai game written natively in English.

Public speaking engagements

Throughout the year, we travel to conventions across the country to participate in panels about ren'ai games and to meet with fans of these games.

Our main panel is a beginner's guide to ren'ai games, which gives an overview to the genre, shows some demos and artwork from some well-known titles, and highlights the options available for non-Japanese speakers.

Contact us if there is an event in your area in need of a speaker about ren'ai games, anime/manga, or any related topics!
