Game developer Level-5 and advertising / PR company Dentsu have teamed up and created Level-5 abby Inc., which is described as a “multi-media entertainment company”. The company’s name was formed by taking the “a” from “all” or “anything” and the “bby” from “hobby”.

The company’s purpose is to bring Level-5’s various franchises to a worldwide audience in a variety of forms, such as games, toys, animation, comics and more. The company states that its three “tentpole” franchises are Yo-Kai Watch, Little Battlers eXperience and Snack World. The company is headed up by CEO Akihiro Hino, who is the founder and president of Level-5, and COO Yukari Hayakawa.

In the Japanese version of Yo-Kai Watch, a number of the Yokai names feature puns. That’s made things slightly difficult to localize. However, Level-5 (handling the localization instead of Nintendo) has still managed to come up with a ton of puns for the English release for the different characters. Take a look at Polygon’s video below for a few examples.
