h.a.n.d. Inc. (ハ・ン・ド ha.n.do), abbreviation of Hokkaido Artists' Network and Development,[2] is a Japanese video game developer founded in 1992. The company originally started as a service selling Macintosh hardware and software to universities before the Mac platform was widely known. When competition in the field increased, h.a.n.d. reorganized to develop original software.[3]

h.a.n.d.'s earliest known game is Treasure Strike: Full Swing, developed in collaboration with publisher, Kid, who released the PC follow-up to the Dreamcast original in 2004. The company consists of two other divisions—North Point Inc. for the development of mobile phone apps and other software, and S.N.S. Inc. who work on social games for Facebook and Mixi for external publishers.
