With beginnings as an arcade manufacturer in Japan during the early years of the video game industry, Capcom has built a reputation for creating cutting-edge technology and highly memorable video game franchises since its founding in 1983. Over the course of its history, Capcom has created some of the most iconic characters and franchises in gaming. From the ubiquitous Street Fighter and Rockman franchises to the genre-defining Resident Evil and Devil May Cry series, Capcom has utilized its talent to create recognizable and entertaining games all over the world. To accommodate such a global presence, Capcom has offices around the world – including Tokyo, Osaka, US, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Hong Kong and Korea- where longstanding franchises are grown and new ones developed. Guided by the idea of fostering a culture of entertainment, Capcom has consistently acted on this view by creating innovative and hugely popular games that push technical and creative limits.
