Doko Demo Issyo
video game series
Doko Demo Issyo (どこでもいっしょ; lit. "Together Everywhere") is a Japanese video game series primarily developed by BeXide Inc. (formerly Bomber eXpress) and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The first game was released for the PlayStation in 1999. In the games, players talk to, feed, photograph, and play minigames with characters.

The linked authority identifier is Q122801459. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1999.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
