For the "original" Santos, see Megasoft.

Santos (株式会社サントス) was a company started by Takeshi Tozu after departing what became Megasoft. (It would appear he got to keep the Santos name and some games after his departure.) The late Akio Inoue, president of Aicom, was alledgedly an investor in the company. Some of the Santos staff were later absorbed into Yumekobo.
