Kasaiki Corporation

Kasaiki Corporation are a fictional Japanese conglomerate who appear in a number of Animatron Studios projects, similar to "Dinoco" and "Pizza Planet" from Pixar Studios' films. In a similar manner to those companies, Kasaiki exist largely to circumvent any potential product placement or copyright issues. Their products differ between projects, but typically use an alphanumeric designation consisting of a letter followed by two or three numbers.

The name "Kasaiki" derives from the Japanese kasai, meaning "fire", and ki, which literally means " weaving loom" but is instead translated as "machine". Hence, "Kasaiki" means "fire machine".
