IPC

IPC, an acronym of "Ijūin PET Company", is an electronics company in the Mega Man Battle Network series owned by Shuuseki Ijuin, the father of Eugene Chaud. It is a manufacturer of PETs, and one of the five biggest companies in all of Electopia. Shuseki serves as the company's president, which is the source of the family's wealth and prestige. Because of the company's large income, IPC often sponsors lots of funds to scientists with cutting edge PET technology as the return. IPC also served as the primary sponsor of the N1 Grand Prix in Mega Man Battle Network 3. Outside of being mentioned, however, IPC never makes an appearance in the games.

Anime
In the MegaMan NT Warrior anime series, the company is known as BlazeQuest Games and Chaud’s name is Chaud Blaze, and plays a much larger role than in the games. While still the manufacturer of PETs, it also develops video games and several other electronics, and is a main competitor of |Yai Ayano’s company AyanoTech. BlazeQuest develops all of the new PETs and accessories seen in the series.

IPC is still around 200 years later during the era of Mega Man Star Force, and several products, notably Geo Stelar’s food materializer, bears the IPC logo.

Trivia

 * Because Enzan Ijuin’s name is changed in both the English versions of the video games (Eugene Chaud) and anime (Chaud Blaze), it is unknown what “IPC” stands for in English, however it is possible that Shuseki still bears the last name, and Chaud has a different name for unknown reasons.
