The goal of the acquisition is to accelerate Zynga Japan’s entry into the Japanese mobile and social gaming markets.

Founded in 2001, Unoh was one of Japan’s first social game companies, with titles such as Machitsuku, Band Yarouyo and Kaizoku Chronicle.

In addition to maintaining Unoh’s games on mixi, Mobage-town, and GREE, Zynga Japan will also localize Zynga games and develop new games targeted at the Japanese market.

Shintaro Yamada, founder/CEO of Unoh, will help lead Zynga Japan’s mobile efforts.
