Yoake no Mariko[b] is a rhythm video game developed and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 2. It is a collaboration between Sony and Spümcø, an American animation studio best known for producing Nickelodeon's The Ren & Stimpy Show, with founder John Kricfalusi serving as a character designer.[1] Keiichiro Toyama, who joined Sony two years prior, serves as a gameplay designer; it was released on the same day as Ico, developed at another unit of Sony.[2]
The game was released in December 2001 exclusively to Japan and a Performance Pack was released shortly afterward. Following this, a sequel titled Yoake no Mariko 2nd Act was released on 24 January 2002, also on the PlayStation 2.[citation needed]
