Yggdrasill Corporation

The Yggdrasill Corporation is a massive corporation located in the city of Zawame, providing for just about anything the city needs for living and growth of civilization, from clothing to transportation to even waste disposal, as well as healthcare and education. Its omnipresence in the city's socioeconomic development makes the populace feel that they are living in a castle town rather than a bustling city.

It's named after the tree of life that supported the nine different worlds of Norse mythology.

History
At some point in the past, the Corporation came to Zawame City in order to redevelop it as part of a project. In the process, they shut down a construction company belonging to Kaito Kumon's father and cut down the Takatsukasa shrine tree along with the entire forest surrounding the city.

On a side note, the Corporation is also aware of the Helheim Forest's existence and is attempting to harness its power in order to fight against Deemushu, the Overlord Inves. While partially successful so far with the Lockseeds, the Sengoku Drivers (and eventually the Genesis Drivers), the Corporation has yet to be "chosen" by the Forest.
