Aisystem Tokyo logo

Aisystem Tokyo (株式会社アイシステム東京) was a group company of Aisystem established on May 2, 1989. Its head office was located near its parent company's in Matsudo, Chiba, while the development division was located in Chiyoda, Tokyo (hence the name of the company?). [1] [2]

Aisystem Tokyo allegedly went bankrupt around 2005 [3], but Aisystem still exists and continues to operate the Go-Net online igo service and salon.

(We decided to write the name as "Aisystem" long ago, but the company and its parent have written it inconsistently over the years [Ai System, AI-system].)

The following list came from a company overview. We have attempted to corroborate it by running code comparisons and looking at game credits.
