Data East Corporation (データイースト株式会社) was a Japanese video game and electronic engineering company. The company was in operation from 1976 to 2003

Founded on 1976, Data East developed and released in July 1977 its first arcade game "Jack Lot", a medal game based on Blackjack for business use.
This was followed in January 1978 by "Super Break" which was its first actual video game. More than 15 arcade games were released by Data East in the 1970s.
In 1980, Data East published "Astro Fighter" which became its first major arcade title.
Data East continued to release arcade video games over the next 15 years following the video game crash of 1983. Some of its most famous coin-op arcade games from its 1980s heyday included Karate Champ, Heavy Barrel, BurgerTime, Bad Dudes Vs. Dragon Ninja, Sly Spy, RoboCop, Bump 'n' Jump, Trio The Punch – Never Forget Me..., Karnov and Atomic Runner Chelnov.
"Karate Champ" was the first successful fighting game, due to being one of the most influential to modern fighting game standards.

Data East was declared bankrupt on June 25, 2003.
