History

Jaleco was founded by Japanese businessman Yoshiaki Kanazawa on October 3, 1974. They were originally known as the , producing equipment for both amusement parks and arcade centers across Japan. The company was originally based out of Setagaya-ku, Tokyo. Japan Leisure began production of arcade video games by 1982, and changed their corporate name to Jaleco, taking the first two letters of each word of "Japan Leisure Co.", in March 1983. Jaleco began production of home console video games for the

Heavy company restructuring was performing, with Jaleco's arcade division shuttering in April 2001 while retaining their home console video game division. In April 2001, PCCW Japan purchased the VR-1 Group, the holder of North American MMO developer VR-1 Entertainment, in order to have their operations expand globally.

. The video game operations were then spun off into a new company known as Jaleco, which would become a subsidiary of Jaleco Holding.https://web.archive.org/web/20060904001613/http://www.jaleco.co.jp/ir/indeximege/20060531-2.pdf The corporate restructure was done to reflect the company's diversified portfolio which no longer limited to video games and included activities such as real estate and financial services. In October 2007, Hyperlink Investments Group sold its stock in Jaleco Holding to Game Yarou, a Japanese mobile phone developer, and two South Korean corporations, STIC Pioneer Fund and A2i. Jaleco Holdings dissolved two subsidiary companies, FFBC Investment and J Consulting, in early 2008. Jaleco's North American division, Jaleco Entertainment, closed their doors later that year. In January 2009, Jaleco Holding sold Jaleco to Game Yarou for ¥1 (US$0.01), but Game Yarou also assumed ¥700,000,000 ($7.736 million) of Jaleco Holding's ¥16,000,000,000 ($17.68 million) debt. A spokesperson for Jaleco Holding cited "increasing competition in recent years in the video game market" as the reason for the company's departure from the industry. Jaleco Holding renamed itself to Encom Holdings the same year in April, focusing on real estate and finance business in Japan and no longer being involved with video games. Encom Holdings dissolved on May 13, 2013, due to poor reputation and loss of income. Under ownership of Game Yarou, Jaleco produced video games for Japanese mobile phones and web browsers, alongside licensing many of their older video games to third-party developers for use in other projects. One of the game titles that was released by Jaleco under this ownership was ''Ougon no Kizuna'' for the

on May 21, 2014. Jaleco would soon vanish from the video game industry, with their video games being acquired later that year by Japanese company City Connection, formerly known as Clarice Disk.
