Established 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 grows, KONAMI also listed to London, Singapore, and New York Stock Exchange. KONAMI now has world wide operation throughout Europe, Asia, North America, and widened its business line to Health & Fitness, and Gaming.
Here in Europe, KONAMI has strengthened its operation through establishing branch offices in Paris, London and Madrid, and now offers the game software for various platforms as PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PSP, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Nintendo 3DS and PC.
