Established in Osaka, Japan in 1969 by Kagemasa Kozuzi, 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 still President and Chief Executive Officer of Konami - 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 expanded into home formats.

It now has offices in North and South America, across Europe and Asia. In excess of 1,000 employees work in the development studios alone, creating top video games for consoles such as PlayStation 2, PSOne, Game Boy Advance, Xbox and GameCube.
