I love Taito. They're one of my favorite game companies. They have just as much, if not more history, than other game companies like Namco and Nintendo. Taito even has their own in-house band named Zuntata that does the music for their games. Right now, Square-Enix owns most of Taito's stock. I wish they'd utilize them more.
If you liked Kiki KaiKai, you're in luck! There are other games in the series you can play. There were two on the Super Nintendo and they were even released in the US under the names Pocky and Rocky and Pocky and Rocky 2, thanks to Natsume. Natsume also released one on the GBA called Pocky & Rocky With Becky, and it looks more like the original arcade game. There was also a Pocky and Rocky mini-game in Furu Furu Park, a game on the Wii. Speaking of the Wii, there is a game on it called Heavenly Guardian that was originally going to be a Pocky and Rocky game, but Taito backed out so that other game company just went with generic characters.
If you like the Japanese mythologies in those games, you may also want to try Okami or Yo-Kai Watch.
