'''Fill in Cafe Co., Ltd.''' (株式会社フィルインカフェ) was a development company based in Shinjuku, Tokyo. [http://web.archive.org/web/19980114033547/http://www.fillincafe.co.jp/comp1.html] Its origins can be traced back to Team Cross Wonder, which consisted of friends Takumi Amano (天野匠) and [[System Sacom]] artist Toshinobu Kondo (近藤敏信).<sup>[[#foot1|[1]]]</sup> After developing the X68000 title ''Mission Metal Sight'', Amano went on to produce ''Neural Gear'' under the name Team Fill in Cafe. He eventually incorporated Fill in Cafe in 1991. [http://web.archive.org/web/19980114033729/http://www.fillincafe.co.jp/hist.html] (Kondo would do work for Fill in Cafe as a contractor, and later started [[Studio Saizensen]] which employs several ex-Fill in Cafe staff.) The company achieved some success with games such as the ''Asuka 120%'' series, but it ultimately filed for bankruptcy in 1998.<sup>[[#foot1|[1]]]</sup>
