KSS was a game maker that once existed, established in the early 1990s. The original company name was “Kamakura Super Station,” and KSS is its abbreviation. They had a close relationship with Sony Pictures and were involved in the production of anime broadcast around the 2000s such as “Rurouni Kenshin -Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story-”, “Kyoro-chan”, and “NARUTO”.

In the '90s, they also sold game software for PCs and the Super Famicom, including games based on anime being broadcast at the time. Around 2004, they gradually scaled down their operations and are currently a dormant company.

They also released quite a few pachinko-related games. The artwork is just like the good old anime works! It's exciting to see many games with such a feel!
