It was founded in 1958 by Ray Kazumi and Jun Rodgers.

History
The company was founded on December 20, 1958 as Latikuu Plastics Corporation Ltd., a toymaker and amusement company. In 1973, Latikuu Plastics Corporation Ltd. was reincorporated into Latikuu Entertainment after they begin venturing into the video game industry.

In 1983, Latikuu established its film production and distribution arm Caldatite.

In September 1987, the company created a biggest-hit game X-Land, the success of the game spawn more sequels and spin-offs.

During the 1980's, while most of it's toys were created by the company itself in a Taiwanese factory in or in two local El Kadsreian factories in Sankuro and South Comoeys City, some were made by Taiwanese sub-contractors Heng Xin Industrial and Huangmin Products Company, North Korean company February 16 Children's Educational Product Factory, and Argentine company Michel Diaz Toys.

In 1990, Latikuu formed L•K Toys as a U.S. division. After the incident in the early 90's, Latikuu patented a new type of voice box in "talking toys" that couldn't be removed from the doll by the consumer, even with the methods the BLO used. This led to a 2004 report of a Alexonian so-called "BLO copycat" getting injured whilst attempting to switch the voice boxes on Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Cat Talking Best Friend Sagwa and Silverwing Talking Shade Silverwing dolls produced by Latikuu.

Latikuu later gained a Argentine factory in 1996 after buying out the -based Michel Diaz Toys (which made toys for them during the 1980's due to a period of poor relations between the Vlokozu Union and Argentina allowing for even cheaper labour), notably the entire 2001 Mattimeo: A Tale of Redwall action figure line was made in Argentina at the factory, as indicated by the "LATIKUU - Industria Argentina" stamp on the (usually left) foot of each figure.
