The full form of SNK is Shin Nihon Kikaku.
SNK, a Japanese video game company, initially used the katakana representation of "Shin Nihon Kikaku" as its nickname. However, in 1981, the company officially adopted "SNK," derived from the initials of the Roman alphabet version of its name. The company's English copyright notation also reflected this change, using "SNK CORPORATION." This abbreviation served as a more concise and recognizable brand identity for its global audience.
