Konami

Konami Holdings Corporation, or just simply Konami, is a Japanese video game developer and publisher, that was formed in 1973, in Ginza District, Chuo Ward, Tokyo, Japan, by Kagemasa Kōzuki. Previous names they were known by have included Konami Industry Co., Ltd. (1973–1991), Konami Co., Ltd (1991–2000), and Konami Corporation (2000–2015), but they've always just been Konami to fans. They're one of the oldest gaming companies still around today, and have earned almost as much fame as the likes of Nintendo. Franchises they're known for include Metal Gear, Silent Hill, Castlevania, Contra, Frogger, Gradius, Rocket Knight Adventures, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Suikoden, and Pro Evolution Soccer. In addition to all of that, Konami owns Bemani, known for Dance Dance Revolution and Beatmania, as well as the assets of former game developer Hudson Soft, known for Bomberman, Adventure Island, Bonk, Bloody Roar, and Star Soldier. Konami is the nineteenth-largest game company in the world by revenue. They once had a subsidiary, KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS, but in 2015 Hideo Kojima split his company from them and it became independent.
