The names "Bear's" and "Bear's Corporation" turn up in both the NES and MSX versions of "Pachi Com," the earliest game we've found by this group (1985). We're not sure if Bear's was a company bought out by Shouei System, just a pseudonym for Shouei, or a company Shouei contracted. We previously thought Bear's was Shouei's former name, but according to Shouei System's old website, Shouei changed its name to Shouei System in 1982.
