'''''Raizing''''', now known as '''''Eighting''''', was a developer of shooting games and other arcade games in the 1990s and early 2000s. It was one of four companies founded after the demise of [[Toaplan]], along with [[Cave]], Gazelle, and Takumi.

Raizing is most famous for a pair of shooting trilogies, the [[Mahou Daisakusen (series)|Mahou Daisakusen]] trilogy and the Bat trilogy.

While Raizing did not officially close its doors, in October 2000 the Raizing division was incorporated into Eighting, which coincides with Eighting's decision to focus solely on the home console market. Because of this, Raizing can be considered a defunct arcade gaming company, and indeed some of the staff has left Raizing. Most notable is the departure of [[Shinobu Yagawa]], who is now employed by Cave and continues to program shooting games for Cave.
