A.I

Incorporated in July 1990, A.I Co., Ltd. (株式会社エーアイ) is a development company based in Machida, Tokyo, Japan. Kenichi Arai (荒居健一) is the president. [1] The name is probably derived from Hiroyuki Arai (荒居弘之) and Noriyoshi Innai (印内紀美), the former Sanritsu staffers who started the company. [2] (Sound work is done externally. [3])

Innai went on to start Rock's in 1991.
