I found this token with the words BigWest on one side and something in Japanese. Someone said something about it being a Japanese advertising agency. Here are a couple of pics. I want to know what it says in Japanese.

I'm thinking it's a pachinko token. Big West was involved with a huge Japanese anime franchise starting from the 1980s and there are many themed-pachinko machines from these series. If you google "pachinko token" they look similar to yours.
