History
The company was founded by Ray Kazumi (1932-2009) and Jun Rodgers (born 1933) on December 20, 1958 as Latikuu Plastics Corporation Ltd., a distributor of foreign toys from the United States, United Kingdom and Japan. Latikuu then entered the world of local manufacturing, when they started making playing cards in 1963. Latikuu still manufactures playing cards in French and Vicnoran suits, along with special versions of their French-suited cards featuring characters from their franchises on the back side. In 1968, the company entered the amusements industry by opening Latikuu Park in Stuartsville. 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. During the 1980s, Latikuu distributed Transformers, G.I. Joe, Jem, Masters of the Universe, Rainbow Brite and Teddy Ruxpin products in Aritonesia.

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

In 1994, Latikuu debuted the first toys with superdie plastic, a "high-tech, tougher-than-ever incarnation of the proven diecast plastic process", developed by Latikuu in cooperation with students from the North Comoeys University of Sciences and the University of El Kadsre.

During the 1990's new boom in popularity for 's Thunderbirds, Latikuu imported and distributed various different toys and other items licensed to the series.

In 1996, to tie in with the theatrical release of Bionicle: The Next Generation, Latikuu released the line of 5-inch Technic Heroes action figures, which are produced in Latikuu's Sankuro factory.

Also in 1996, Latikuu later gained a Argentine factory after buying out the -based toy contract manufacturer Michel Diaz Toys, notably the European version of the 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.

On May 1, 2000, Latikuu released the Redwall toyline in the United States and Canada, followed by a release in most of Aritonazca on May 5, 2000. Initially, the toyline did not take off as quickly as planned, but slowly its popularity grew, especially by that year's Christmas season. By the end of 2000, Redwall toyline sales earned Latikuu over US$95.3 million in revenue, and by 2003 over 100 million Redwall action figures had been sold, and had earned a considerable share of the action figure market, along with forming a huge part of Latikuu's toy business. The first Redwall video game was the #3 top-selling game across all consoles for the month of January 2001, and had sold 2 million copies by March 2002.

In 2003, Latikuu developed the first build of the Mossflower Engine, which has been used for Latikuu's Redwall, Silverwing and Warriors games for several years.
