Overview edit · view history

Tokyo Shoseki Media Factory was established March 3, 1997 as a subsidiary of Tokyo Shoseki to take over all games-related operations of that company, including both development and publishing under the Tonkinhouse brand. The company also used the TMF brand for a single release in 1997.

The company was renamed Tokyo Shoseki Media Flow in early 2000, and Edufront in 2004 when Tokyo Shoseki as a whole left the games market. Today, Edufront's primary business is developing software and technology solutions for use by educational institutions.

The company had an internal development team headed by Masaki Sakari, which consisted largely of former Data East staff. After the company ceased games operations, much of the team joined 5pb.
