We have entries for Studio Biho (#3191), Studio Bihou (#524), Bihou, Inc. (#5077), Biho Co., Ltd. (#950) and SON-MY VIETNAM (#8549). The last may be a separate Vietnam branch.

All of the entries link to the same website and have similar background art credits.

There are Studio Bihoh, Biho Digital Works, and Bihou Thailand as well. The first one looks like just another spelling variant; the latter two are likely to be subsidiaries.

Apparently they took off "Studio" prefix sometime after 2002. With no official English title other than "Bihou, Inc." found in Japanese Wikipedia (before being taken off in August 2009), I'd use #5077 as the main title unless there's evidence indicating otherwise.

Bihou Thailand and Biho Digital Works are still segregated. Or is that intentional?

Intentional. Unfortunately we don't have company relationship trees similar to "sequel of," "adapted from," etc., yet.
