RECT Inc.

RECTO Progress Inc. is the company owned by Yuuki Shouzou. One division of this company, the FullDive Division led by Sugou Nobuyuki, took charge of the Sword Art Online servers after Argus went bankrupt due to the SAO incident. They were also known for co-developing the AmuSphere, a much safer console than the NerveGear. They also created ALfheim Online.

Background
Yuuki Shouzou who had planned to let Sugou Nobuyuki inherit it after marrying Asuna. RECTO Progress Inc. originally bought off the technology for VR from Argus (company which created SAO) in order to make the 2nd VRMMORPG. The company is responsible for the creation of ALfheim Online which the company declared to be "perfectly safe". RECTO Progress Inc. had set the 1st main goal of ALfheim Online to reach the top of the World Tree, but was later found to be impossible to complete. It was revealed that the World Tree's actual purpose was to hold the remaining 300 prisoners from SAO as test subjects in inhumane experiments. The 300 prisoners were experimented for the purpose in the research of memory manipulation and remodeling their emotions. After Sugou Nobuyuki was arrested, RECTO Progress Inc. collapsed from lawsuits and poor publicity which even affected the main branch (RECTO Inc.). As a result, Yuuki Shouzou stepped down as CEO and entered a semi-retired state managing overseas relations of the company.
