D&D

D&D Corp. (有限会社ディーアンドディー; stylized as d&d) was a design company involved with package design and, later, video games. [1] It frequently worked with Bandai and Tose. It was based in Shibuya, Tokyo.

In 1991, former D&D staffer Takayoshi Nakazato founded the game publisher/production company Cobra Team with Bandai's Shinji Hashimoto. It was acquired by Square in 1994 and renamed Solid. [2]
