A Wave
From Game Developer Research Institute
A Wave, Inc. (株式会社エイ・ウェーブ) was a company in Setagaya, Tokyo, established in August 1985. The president was animator Yasuho Tanaka (田中八寿穂). [1] A Wave was at one time an affiliate of Sega, which owned 20% of the company. [2]
Evidence suggests A Wave was previously called Animation 20 Co., Ltd. (有限会社アニメーション・トウエンテイ) [3]
