Studio e.go! was a Japanese eroge company which used to produce fantasy games of various genres for computers, including role-playing video games, SRPGs, and visual novels. The cutscenes of these games were illustrated by Kazue Yamamoto.
Some products were officially translated to Traditional Chinese for distribution in Taiwan between 1999 and 2001. Since these games were being marketed for all ages in Taiwan, the erotic scenes inside the story were modified or deleted. Taiwan Symbio (信必優多媒體) was the official distributor of the Chinese versions.
On March 17, 2009, amidst preparations for the company's 10th anniversary celebrations, Kazue Yamamoto announced that she was leaving the company. This announcement was followed by the departure of all of the remaining staff two days later.[2]
Kazue Yamamoto founded a new company called Debo no su seisakujo (でぼの巣製作所)[3] The company uses a fat sparrow named "Debo" (でぼ, "plump") as its mascot.

On (unknown date, date needed) a "Coming Soon" message was put up on the Company's Website announcing that the company was going to release some games for Dreamcast in the near future. Although three games were supposed to be released as per the initial announcement, only 2 were released, both on 22 January 2004.
Most of the Company's games were adapted into an anime series or OVA, though some of them were never licensed.
In Order of Release they are:
The merchandise, released by the company as supplements to their games, is very varied, ranging from their own OST games (Most of these were composed by Angel Note and the Openings and Endings of some these Games were performed (and in some cases, written) by Candy) to Artbooks and Fanbooks of the games.
Some of these fanbooks were produced for and published by other companies, and in most of the cases, not for Studio e.go itself.
There were two sub-companies of Studio E.go!, one of them was Blue Impact, a Boy's Love (BL) Game producer and publisher, which made Angel's Feather, which is still producing White Shadow, and which was the publisher of Working Days in 2001.
Some of its releases were:
The other sub-branch of the company is Cool Beans (KU-RUBI-NZU) 「くーるびーんず] which is the developer and publisher of the OSTs and CD Dramas of Studio E.go! and Blue Impact Games, a subdivision of the original company.
Some of its releases were:
These were published before the release of IZUMO 2 Original Soundtrack Collection CD:COMPLETE BOX.
