About
Konami

E

stablished in Osaka, Japan in 1969 by Kagemasa Kozuki, Konami is one of the video game industry’s
biggest success stories. From its beginnings as a jukebox hire and repair shop, Kozuki-san - who
is now Chairman of the Board of Konami Corporation - entered the field of entertainment and
amusement arcade machines four years later.
By 1984, Konami had opened successful offices in the
US, UK and a Key German subsidiary and extended into
home formats. It enjoyed huge success on the Nintendo
NES format, extending its market share with a wave
of well-received titles. Konami’s successful initial public
offering on the Tokyo Stock Exchange crowned the 1988
business year. As the business grew, Konami also listed
to London, Singapore, and New York Stock Exchange.
Konami now has worldwide operation throughout
Europe, Asia, North America, and has widened its
business line to Health & Fitness, and Gaming.
