Natsume Co, Ltd. (ナツメ株式会社) is a Japanese developer started in 1987. It's American branch, Natsume Inc., was founded in 1988, and publishes a few Natsume Co, Ltd. created games outside of Japan; it has, however, published games from other developers, such as the Harvest Moon series. Natsume Co, Ltd. has developed many games, and has even worked on games such as Cleopatra Fortune and Megaman Zero 4 as designers.

A part of Natsume Co, Ltd. split from it's company and reformed as Atari Inc. (not to be confused with this Atari) in 2002. Atari specializes in hardware developing and manufacturing; specifically Pakuchino. [1]
