Konami

Konami (Japanese コナミ) is a leading video game developer and publisher.

Konami was founded in 1969 in Osaka, Japan by Kagemasa Kozuki. Over the years Konami has created some of the biggest and most memorable video games, from the vampire hunting Castlevania series to the action/shooter Contra series to the espionage action Metal Gear series to the console role-playing game series Suikoden, and even to the pop culture craze of Dance Dance Revolution and Dancing Stage.

Many Easter eggs are hidden in a number of Konami games through the mechanism of the Konami Code. While in the game's start screen, the player presses Up-Up-Down-Down-Left-Right-Left-Right-B-A in rapid succession. The exact results vary per game.
