Sega Consumer Research and Development Dept. #1 (Sega CS1) was a video game research and development division within Sega, following Sega Planning Design Production Dept. and Sega Software R&D Dept.[1]. As the name suggests, it was the first "consumer"-specific R&D department created by Sega of Japan, acting as a loose successor to the previous Sega CS1. It was officially founded in April 1996 and headed by Koichi Nagata,[2] replaced Makoto Oshitani a few years later.[3]

The studio garnered various members from people who worked on Panzer Dragoon, sports games, 32X titles, and also developers who worked on 8-Bit conversion of titles for the Master System and Game Gear.

By early 1998, when all the studio's efforts were dedicated to Sega Saturn titles, it could be divided into 3 mostly distinct groups: those who worked on the Shinseiki Evangelion series, sports game developers and Team Andromeda (which developed on the Panzer Dragoon series).[4]

In May 1999, all of Sega's internal development divisions were renamed, with CS1 becoming Sega Software R&D Dept. 6. During this transition, many developers left Sega to join the new start-ups Artoon and Land Ho!.
