Tao Human Systems

Tao Human Systems Co,. Ltd. (株式会社タオヒューマンシステムズ) was a software development and CG production company based in Shibuya, Tokyo. Evidence suggests it was headed by Masanobu Serizawa (芹澤正信), formerly of Atlus, while the development director was Akira Kitamura (北村玲), formerly of Capcom and Takeru. Seems to have been in existence from around 1993 until 1999.
