Reputation | Yamagato Industries is a global leader in future technologies. Yamagato is renowned for their advancements in robotics, cybernetics, artificial intelligence research, and environmentally-conscious civilian engineering. Yamagato Industries is solely responsible for the upkeep, maintenance, and growth of the NYC Safe Zone, and as such get their fair share of praise and blame for all the good and ills the city faces. |
Yamagato Industries is an extremely powerful and influential multinational technology and heavy industry corporation based out of Tokyo, Japan. Founded by Kaito Nakamura in the late 1960s, Yamagato Industries has been a world leader in technological innovations for nearly 50 years. Yamagato Industries is one of the few corporations owned by former Company founders not to be dissolved after the fall of the Company in 2010, due to its international status and Japan's unwillingness to comply with the company's financial dissolution. After Kaito's murder that same year, his daughter Kimiko took control of the corporation. Yamagato creates spectacular technological innovations by pairing the brightest minds in the world with some of the most advanced and skills SLC-Expressive humans available. Yamagato eagerly talent scouts SLC-E candidates for employment who possess abilities that can assist in technological or scientific research.
Following the Second American Civil War, Yamagato Industries was given an exclusive contract to rebuild New York City by establishing the NYC Safe Zone. Yamagato, in turn, was afforded a plot of international territory known as Yamagato Park where United States laws are not enforceable, effectively giving the company its own fiefdom on US soil which operates much as an international consulate but is beholden only to Yamagato Industries.
