Nippon Computer Systems Corp.

Their Japanese distribution division is called Masaya (メサイヤ). Very little information about their history as game developers is known in English (TODO), though it is presumed Langrisser Millennium was the last game they published before CareerSoft spun out.

NCS stopped producing games in 2000. The brand name was transferred to Extreme in November 2014
