Princess Maker (プリンセスメーカー?) is a series of Japanese life simulation bishōjo games by the video game and anime production company Gainax. The first Princess Maker, while popular enough to be translated into Chinese, was never released in the United States. Princess Maker 2 was translated by SoftEgg for a North American release, but this release was cancelled because publisher Intracorp went bankrupt. Princess Maker 3, Princess Maker 4, and Princess Maker 5 have subsequently been released. The series has been translated and released in Korea (Fujitsu) and Taiwan (Kingformation). No English translations have been made after the failed attempt of Princess Maker 2.
Petite Princess Yucie, an anime series loosely based on the third game but with characters from all of the games, ran for 26 episodes in 2002-03.
