CAPCOM CO., LTD. is a Japanese game company based in Osaka.
Founded in 1983, the company's name originates from “CAPSULE COMPUTER”.
Although its founding year is relatively recent compared to other famous game developers like Nintendo and Konami, it's a company that has produced an impressive array of masterpieces.
Although they were somewhat late to the game industry, their prominence rose with the major success of the fighting game, Street Fighter II, released in 1991.
Following that, they introduced popular series such as 'Rockman', 'Biohazard', 'Sengoku BASARA', and 'Monster Hunter'.

What!? Is CAPCOM really that young in terms of its founding year?
Compared to companies like Nintendo and Konami that we've mentioned before, which have a long history, yes...... that's how it feels. But I think it's impressive that with such a short history, they boast a similar level of recognition!
