, commonly known as
TGS, is a
video game expo /
convention held annually in September in the
Makuhari Messe, in
Chiba, Japan. It is presented by the Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association (CESA) and Nikkei Business Publications, Inc. The main focus of the show is on Japanese games, but some international video game developers use it to showcase upcoming releases/related hardware. Like Germany's
gamescom, Tokyo Game Show allows the general public to attend during the final two days.
