Electronic Arts Square K.K. was created during the joint venture of companies Square Co., Ltd. and Electronic Arts. Just as Square Electronic Arts published for Square in the U.S., Electronic Arts Square published for Electronic Arts in Japan, releasing key EA titles in Japan. The company was 70% owned by EA and 30% owned by Square.

However, EA Square did not enjoy the success its U.S. cousin was enjoying at the time. Most of the games were sports titles that were passed for similar games from other companies (Konami, even Square). Some other games were not as well received as they were in the U.S.

Upon the merger of Square and Enix, EA bought Square's ownership in the company and absorbed it into its fold.
