As Big Club/Nihon Soft Hanbai?

Given her role as a producer on these games, Iida appears to have also run a company called Big Club (株式会社ビッグ・クラブ). Big Club apparently later became Nihon Soft Hanbai (日本ソフト販売). [2] There is no conclusive evidence that Big Club/Nihon Soft Hanbai became Manjuydo. Bouken Danshaku Don shares a lot of staff with the games below, but it is said Big Club/Nihon Soft Hanbai went bankrupt.

(In an interview Takane Ohkubo said, "The Genpei Pro group was dissolved after Bravoman, and I left Namco. I went to work at a company called Big Club, where I worked on Jinmu Denshou, Rock-On, and Bouken Danshaku Don for the PC Engine." [3])
