Tose (company) Tose Co., Ltd. (株式会社トーセ , Kabushiki-gaisha Tōse ) () (also called Tose Software) is a video game development company based in Kyoto, Japan. It is mostly known for developing Nintendo's "Game & Watch Gallery" series, various "Dragon Ball" games, as well as other Nintendo products. Tose has developed or co-developed over 1,000 games since the company's inception in 1979, but is virtually never credited in the games themselves (an exception to this is "Game & Watch Gallery 4" and "The Legendary Starfy" series, as Tose shares the copyright with Nintendo). "We're always behind the scenes," said Masa Agarida, Vice President of Tose's U.S. division. "Our policy is not to have a vision. Instead, we follow our customers' visions. Most of the time we refuse to put our name on the games, not even staff names." As such, Tose has gained a reputation for being a "ghost developer".
