Aisystem Tokyo (株式会社アイシステム東京) was a group company of Aisystem [1] [2] established on May 2, 1989. [3] Its head office was located near its parent company's in Matsudo, Chiba, while the development division was located in Chiyoda, Tokyo (hence the name of the company?). [4]
Aisystem Tokyo went bankrupt in 2005 [5] [6], but Aisystem remained in business and continued to operate the Go-Net online igo service and salon until August 2021. [7]
