AZSTOKE Brings Its Homemade Foley Gear To Tokyo Game Show 2026
AZSTOKE's booth shows a game audio vendor selling the physical scale of its recording pipeline (14 licenses, 2000 tsubo in Yamanashi) rather than a reel of past credits, which is how foley work now gets pitched on a show floor.

AZSTOKE, a game audio company founded in 2019, showed foley recording equipment at Tokyo Game Show 2026, including a homemade spiked rain cover for microphones. The company has produced sound effects for GRANBLUE FANTASY: Relink and its Endless Ragnarok episode, and its founder Kentaro Nakajima previously worked on Resident Evil RE:2 and Sengoku BASARA: Utage at Capcom.
The item that drew the crowd was a spiked sphere that turned out to be a homemade rain cover for microphones used in foley recording. AZSTOKE was founded in 2019 by Kentaro Nakajima, who worked on Resident Evil RE:2 and Sengoku BASARA: Utage at Capcom before going independent. The company's credits include sound effects for GRANBLUE FANTASY: Relink and its Endless Ragnarok episode, where staff rode a balloon to 1000m to capture material. Nakajima holds 14 qualifications, among them large vehicle, towing, vehicle-based construction machinery, aerial work platform, and arc welding licenses.
