Atlus

Background
Atlus (アトラス) is a Japanese video game developer, publisher, arcade manufacturer and distribution company based in Tokyo. It was founded in April 1986 and originally existed until 2010, when it was merged into Index Corporation as a publishing brand. The brand was bought by Sega in 2013 and the company behind it was revived the following year.

Atlus is best known for the Megami Tensei video game series and its many spin-offs, including the Persona, Etrian Odyssey and Trauma Center series, as well as Print Club (Purikura) arcade machines.
