About

Description

The ゲーム文化保存研究所 (IGCC) is a brand that aims to preserve and study game culture, while also creating new forms of game culture. They believe that the driving force behind Japan's game industry is not only game developers, but also operators, creators, and players themselves. Each day, diverse flows are generated and new game cultures are formed through the transmission of game makers, creators, and players.


With the mission of preserving and sharing game culture as a heritage for the future, they established the ゲーム文化保存研究所 in October 2016. By conducting accurate research on the history of game culture and making it available to the public, they aim to understand the past and create the future. Their focus is on studying and presenting the achievements of creators and game makers who have led the industry, especially during its early days.


They will explore the ideas that were at the core of highly successful games and how they were generated and evolved. Through these efforts, they strive to contribute to the creation of more interesting games and content. The Director of the institute, Yasuyo Obori, was born in Tokyo in 1966 and has an extensive background in game development and writing.


He co-founded the game development company Matrix in 1994 and established the ゲーム文化保存研究所 in 2016. Another member, Kenichi Ishiguro, is a researcher in the entertainment industry who is active under the name Kibangellion. He has experience in operating vintage game machines at the Game Museum and Oldies game centers, as well as planning old game reissues and providing resources for talks and events.


With expertise in biology and botany, he also has a deep interest in natural science
