==History==
===Early history===
At the end of the Fourth Corporate War in 2025, the Arasaka Corporation faced defeat at the hands of the U.S. military, being forced to pull almost all its operations back to the core zaibatsu in Japan. Michiko, the only daughter of then-CEO Kei Arasaka, faced being deported to Japan; as an American-born and raised teenager, the distant nation was utterly alien to her. She had known very little of her elder family's world-spanning machinations and her father had made sure to hide the unsavory side of the family business.
In order to prevent deportation, Michiko, utilizing her youth, intelligence, and thousands of fans who believed in her innocence, traveled to Washington, D.C. to meet with President Kress and apologize for her family's participation in the conflict, as well as pleading her case to remain an American citizen. Michiko's meeting proved successful and she was able to remain in Night City and finish her studies. Soon after finishing high school, Michiko was admitted into Stanford University, where she majored in criminology. She graduated three years later, and started her own business as a private detective, founding Danger Gal, a private investigation firm.
===2030s - 2040s===
Headquartered in Night City, where Michiko had grown up, over the following years Danger Gal increased in size and influence. On the surface, it was a private investigation firm specializing in cases for celebrities and other important clients. Michiko's visible naivete and irrepressible charm disguised the fact that she was also a highly competent criminologist. It also obscured the fact that behind the scenes, she was fulfilling one of the directives she agreed to perform as part of her deal with Elizabeth Kress to remain in the United States; locate and dismantle any Arasaka operations in and around her country. Danger Gal had been carefully constructed as fiction with that objective in mind. While the large amount of money they got from their unaware clients was good to keep the company going on, Danger Gal had also access to a slush fund provided covertly by President Kress, as well as much of the covert databases left behind in the Arasaka estate in New Westbrook. 
By the 2040s, Danger Gal had been making headlines with its high-society cases and daring exploits, all the while playing a lethal undercover chess game against the warring factions of Arasaka. Some didn't take them seriously due to the "Little Detective" company logo, but its members were a force to be reckoned with. Due to their string of successful cases, Danger Gal had grown into one of the most solicited detective firms in the world, handling from the most basic to many dangerous missions. This success had allowed the company to gain a seat in the Night City Council as well. Michiko had also created Puma Squad to be the company's public face in Night City to faster the goodwill of Danger Gal, though they were also her personal spearhead in covert operations against Arasaka.
By late 2044, Danger Gal was well established in Night City, and Puma Squad was one of the most famous groups in the metropolis.
===2045===
In 2045, the Danger Gal HQ was infiltrated by an unknown party, though they were soon kicked out by Puma Squad and other operatives present in the building.
Later that same year, real estate agent Jack Skorkowsky reached out to DG to provide him with security and investigate the group of Bozos that were after him. Danger Gal was already keeping a close eye on the chaos the Bozo civil war was causing all over Night City. Not much later, Harriet Woodward "borrowed" one of Danger Gal's dossiers about Ripper, an infamous Maelstromer who the owners of the Forlorn Hope were interested in taking down.
