Capcom Video Games

Capcom is a globally recognized leader in the video game industry, headquartered in Osaka, Japan. Founded in 1979 by Kenzo Tsujimoto as I.R.M. Corporation, the company eventually adopted the name Capcom, an abbreviation of 'Capsule Computer.' This name was chosen to reflect the company's goal of creating software that could be sold in a 'capsule' format, protecting it from piracy and ensuring a high-quality experience for users. Over the decades, Capcom has developed some of the most influential franchises in gaming history, including Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Monster Hunter, and Mega Man.

While the brand is deeply rooted in Japanese culture and design, its manufacturing and distribution have expanded worldwide to meet global demand. While core development and production strategies are centralized in Japan, physical media and digital assets are managed through various international subsidiaries and distribution networks. Capcom remains a rare example of a major gaming pioneer that continues to operate as an independent, publicly-traded entity without acquisition by larger media conglomerates, maintaining its original creative vision and corporate identity as it approaches its 50th anniversary.
