Amusement Vision (later New Entertainment R&D Dept. #1 sometime in 2005) was a research and development division within Sega, and a continuation of Sega AM4. It was responsible for big franchises within Sega, such as Super Monkey Ball and Yakuza. The division, like AM4 before it, was headed by Toshihiro Nagoshi.

Sometime between 2006 and 2008 the team responsible for Yakuza and Yakuza 2 split to form Ryu ga Gotoku Studio.
