Studio e.go! was a Japanese eroge company which produce fantasy games of various genres for computers, including role-playing video game, SRPG, and visual novels. The cutscenes are illustrated by Kazue Yamamoto, whose work continues to develop in games such as Vagrants, My Fair Angel and Castle Fantasia.

Some products were officially translated to Traditional Chinese for distribution in Taiwan between 1999 and 2001. Since these games are being marketed to all ages in Taiwan, the erotic scenes inside the story were modified or deleted. Taiwan Symbio 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 will be leaving the company. This announcement was followed by the departure of all of the remaining staff two days later.[1]

Kazue Yamamoto founded a new company called, Debo no su seisakujo (でぼの巣製作所) [2]

The company uses a fat sparrow named "Debo" (でぼ, "plump") as its mascot.
