Capcom started out in 1979 as a manufacturer and distributor of arcade game machines in Japan. The company was officially established as Capcom Co., LTD in 1983, and it quickly earned a name for itself by pushing cutting-edge technology and software into the gaming world.

What began as a arcade machine business evolved into something much bigger. Today Capcom operates across the entire video game industry—from development to publishing—with offices spread across Tokyo, Osaka, California, England, Germany, and Hong Kong.
