[edit] Gamers (retail chain)
Their retail stores, Gamers, is famous for increasing the popularity of Dejiko, a catgirl character created by Koge-Donbo for a Gamers advertisement. While the first and original Gamers store was in Ikebukuro, a district of Tokyo, Japan, the Gamers headquarters store is located in Akihabara, Japan. The original Ikebukuro store closed its doors to business on January 15, 2006 with a final sales event.
There are Gamers locations throughout Japan and one in Los Angeles, California. The Los Angeles store is known as "Anime Gamers" due to another American company holding the "Gamers" trademark.
