Through development of highly creative software contents that excite people and stimulate their senses, we have been aiming to offer an entirely new level of game entertainment. Since Capcom’s establishment in 1983, we have developed numerous products around the world using our world-class development capabilities to create original content. This year we commemorate 30 years since our founding. Today, young and old, men and women enjoy a gaming experience all over the world. It is now common to see people easily enjoying mobile content (games for cell phones) on streets or enjoying an exchange through an online game with someone far away. Moreover, game content is an artistic media product that fascinates people, consisting of highly creative, multi-faceted elements such as characters, storyline, a worldview and music. It has also evolved to be used in a wide range of areas of media such as Hollywood movies, TV animation programs and books. As the ever-expanding entertainment industry becomes pervasive in our everyday lives, Capcom will continue to strive to be a unique company recognized for its world-class development capabilities by continuously creating content brimming with creativity.
