Konami began with a jukebox. In March 1969, three men in Toyonaka, Osaka, Kagemasa Kozuki, Yoshinobu Nakama, and Tatsuo Miyasako, started a business renting and repairing jukeboxes, and stitched their names together into Konami. When the jukebox trade faded in the early 1970s the company turned to building electro-mechanical arcade machines, and from there into one of the defining names in video games. Konami Holdings is the parent company that now sits over that empire, the corporate roof above the group's games, amusement, and gaming-machine businesses, with Kozuki its chairman decades on.
