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. KONAMI's game titles are also
available through mobile, online and recently by cloud gaming.
From April 2013, KONAMI relocated its European Headquarter from Frankfurt to
Windsor, United Kingdom, aiming for further expansion of online and SNS game.
KONAMI will continue to keep its eyes open for the future demand of market and
only present products meeting the requirements and wishes of its customers
