GunHo

GunHo is a term that can refer to several things, most commonly a popular mobile game franchise and a colloquial expression.

In the context of gaming, GunHo Entertainment is a Japanese video game developer and publisher. They are particularly known for their series of mobile puzzle-action games, the most famous being Puzzle & Dragons. Puzzle & Dragons, released in 2012, combines role-playing game mechanics with match-three puzzle gameplay and has achieved massive global success. GunHo has also developed and published other titles across various platforms.

The term "gungho" itself, originating from Chinese military slang, means enthusiastic, eager, and zealous, often to the point of being rash. This can be applied to a person or group who approaches a task with extreme energy and a gung-ho attitude, sometimes without fully considering the potential risks or consequences. The term was popularized in the United States by Evans Carlson, a Marine Corps officer who adopted it for his unit during World War II, known as Carlson's Raiders.

Therefore, depending on the context, "GunHo" might be referring to the game company, its flagship game, or the spirited, perhaps overly enthusiastic, approach to an endeavor.
