Raizing, also known as Eighting Co. LTD. / 8ing, is a Japanese game developer and publisher, well known for their contributions to the arcade shooting game genre. Raizing acted as the development branch of the company, Eighting functioning as the publishing branch. Raizing was formed by former Compile employees, including Yuuichi Toyama, Kazuyuki Nakashima, and Yokoo Kenichi. A notable hire was Shinobu Yagawa previously from KID. Yagawa was involved in programming for the games Battle Garegga, Armed Police Batrider, and Battle Bakraid, and he would eventually move on to work at CAVE, contributing to various projects such as DoDonPachi Dai-Fukkatsu Black Label.

Raizing was incorporated into Eighting in 2000, and they have effectively ended development of shoot-em-ups since then.
