'''Square Co., Ltd.''' (株式会社スクウェア Kabushiki-gaisha Sukuwea) was a Japanese video game company founded in September 1983 by Masafumi Miyamoto.

Squaresoft was also a brand name used by Square between 1992 and 2003. As such, the name is often used (incorrectly) to refer to the entire organization, but the Japanese corporate name remained Square Co., Ltd. until the Enix merger.

The '''Enix Corporation''' (株式会社エニックス Kabushiki-gaisha Enikkusu) was a Japanese company that produced video games, Anime and manga. The company was founded by Yasuhiro Fukushima on September 22, 1975 as Eidansha Boshu Service Center (株式会社営団社募集サービスセンター Kabushiki Gaisha Eidansha Boshū Sābisu Sentā) and renamed '''Enix''' in 1982. The name is a play on the words "Phoenix", a mythical bird that is reborn from its own ashes, and "ENIAC", the world's first digital computer.
