Takumi Corporation (タクミコーポレーション, Takumi Kōporēshon) was a Japanese video game company founded in May 1994 that is famous for developing arcade shoot 'em ups.

Following Toaplan's bankruptcy, some of the former staff went to Takumi. Among Toaplan's offshoots, only Takumi has developed any sequels to former Toaplan games.

Takumi is one of the splinter companies formed when the company Toaplan disbanded in 1994, the others being Cave, 8ing/Raizing, and Gazelle.

The company had also produced soundtrack albums.
