Founded in December 1987 and officially incorporated on May 12, 1988, KID was headed by Hisayoshi Ichikawa (市川久祥) and started its existence primarily as a contract developer for game publishers. The company develops for a wide range of platforms, and as its success afforded the company more resources, it began to contract the production of its games to other Japanese developers. [1]

In the late 1990s, KID shifted to mainly publishing adult dating simulation games and visual novels, and quickly became a prolific company in those markets. By the mid 2000s, however, KID had encountered significant financial hardships, and in November 2006 the company officially filed for bankruptcy.
