Mario Club spun off from the quality control department within Nintendo in which Kenji Saiki (Japanese: 斎木健次) acted as business chief, named Super Mario Club (Japanese: スーパーマリオクラブ) or Mario Club (Japanese: マリオクラブ)[2] to become its own subsidiary in July 2009.[3]
The current managing director is Yuichi Kitamaru (Japanese: 北村 裕一). Formally, the managing director was Kenji Miki (Japanese: 三木研次) [4][5]
Mario Club and its predecessor are known under a number of different but similar names, including Super Mario Club, NCL Super Mario Club, SMC Debug Team and Super Mario Club Debug Team. [6]
