Metro Corporation (株式会社メトロ) was established May 15, 1987 in Osaka, Japan. In addition to its main Osaka office, the company also operates a Tokyo development office, which was established in 1996 with of a team of former Konami TYO staff. It also has a CG production office in South Korea called Metro Soft Seoul [1], established February 2013 and headed by Tsunenari Yada (矢田凡成).

Over the years, Metro has also had development offices in Okinawa (1995-2008), Nagoya (2003-2008), and Sapporo (2005-2007). Little is known about the Metro's activity prior to 1992; it is unknown whether they were involved in game development in the first years of their existence.
