From Wikipedia:

Kaneko Seisakusho (also called Kaneko Co. Ltd.) was a video game publisher based in Suginami, Tokyo, Japan that published a number of games both under its brand and other companies, such as Air Buster, Shogun Warriors, DJ Boy, Guts'n, and the Gals Panic series. Although most of the games that Kaneko produced were standard arcade fare, they also earned a degree of notoriety for both DJ Boy (for its reputedly racist plot and negative stereotyping) and the Gals Panic series (the games often bordering on softcore pornography).
The last game released by the company was Gals Panic S3 for the Arcade in 2002. On August 12, 2004 Kaneko filed for bankruptcy. Though the company's founder, Hiroshi Kaneko vows to continue, as of 2006 an ongoing civil lawsuit threatens to officially close the company.
