Sega

Sega is a Japanese video game company founded in 1960 that has various branches all over the world. The company entered the video game console business with the Sega Genesis in the 1990s and exited in the 2000s with its last console, the Sega Dreamcast. Since this era, Sega has shifted purely to software sales, where it is now known for several significant, genre-defining franchises like Virtua Fighter, Yakuza, and its most iconic franchise, Sonic the Hedgehog.
