ASCII (アスキー?) was a monthly released microcomputer magazine in Japan, published by ASCII Corporation from 1977. It targeted for business users who used a personal computer in their home and office, but it sometimes introduced computer games and computer musics. It was also known as the Monthly ASCII (月刊アスキー?) written along with the title from Vol. 2 No. 4, and distinguish with the Weekly ASCII (?) founded in 1997. The ASCII was rebranded as the Business ASCII (ビジネスアスキー?) in 2008, and ceased in 2010. Its news website and the Weekly ASCII are continuing as in 2016.
The LOGiN (?), a computer game magazine, was first published as an extra issue of the ASCII in 1982, and the Famitsu (ファミ通?) was branched from the LOGiN.
