Independent software studio · est. 2026

We’re two people and their pets, building small, specific tools for the work we actually do.

Each one started as something we needed while selling cards or shipping our own projects.

Tools we make

Live, in beta, and on the bench

Some are live, some are in private beta, and some are finished and waiting to be released. Each card shows where it stands.

TCG Bulk Check

Private beta

Find out which bulk is worth listing on its own before you pay the fees. The rest goes into bulk lots and artist lots, grouped and priced for you.

Seller extensions

Coming soon

Browser extensions that fill in condition and price rows for you, so relisting isn’t an afternoon. Great for new sellers still learning the listing forms. Works on TCGplayer’s Seller Portal, Mercari and eBay.

Daikonbun

Private beta

A task board whose columns are pipeline stages. Agents pick up a card, move it stage by stage, and write down what they did on the way.

Who we are

Ahri gives the “Ari”, Kiko gives the “ki”

Ariki Co. is two people and the two animals the company is named after. Ahri is the husky: deep brown, upright ears, looks straight at you. Kiko is the dilute tortie: charcoal with warm patches, amber eyes, looking just past you.

Ahri+Kiko

Their names run together into ours, which leaves the word with two i’s — one for each of them. So each one dots an i with its own ear, and that’s the whole logo. Everything else follows from the two coats: the brown comes from Ahri, the charcoal and the warm greys from Kiko, and the amber in Kiko’s eyes turns out to be almost exactly Ahri’s brown.

A note on the word: ariki also means high chief in Māori and across Polynesia. Ours is a coincidence of two pet names, and we’ve kept the identity clear of any Polynesian imagery out of respect for that.
