'''Koei Co., Ltd.''' 『株式会社コーエー』 is best known for its historically-based (and [[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory loosely-based]]) video games, especially those set in feudal China or Japan. It was founded by the CreatorCouple Yoichi and Keiko Erikawa in 1978. Its name seems to derive from the term 光栄 (''kōei'', "honor"). They made their name in Japan with TurnBasedStrategy games such as ''VideoGame/NobunagasAmbition'', but outside Japan their most known and successful series is the ''[[VideoGame/DynastyWarriors Warriors]]'' (''Musou'') franchise of HackAndSlash games (which includes ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'', ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors'', the crossover ''VideoGame/WarriorsOrochi'', and all the licensed crossovers).

Like many Japanese game developers established before TheEighties, Koei started as a completely unrelated business--in this case, a dyestuff and chemicals trader that is already bankrupt at the time the Erikawa couple took over. They immediately expanded the business to things like record rental, and started producing video games in 1980.
