Career Kenichiro Takaki worked at Marvelous for 17 years, becoming head of subsidiary Honey Parade Games in 2017.

In early 2019, Takaki discussed how recent restrictions on "sexualized" content had made releasing series such as Senran Kagura outside Japan difficult. In 2019, Takaki announced that he was leaving Marvelous to join Cygames, citing increased restrictions on sexual depictions in games as part of his reason for leaving, and stated that at Cygames he would be working on a fantasy game, a genre he had been interested in as a child. Takaki described his relationship, position, and compensation with Marvelous as excellent, saying that he felt driven to take on a new challenge and that having to distance himself from previous work was painful.
