About Namco : Founded in 1955 in Tokyo, Namco means 'Nakamura Manufacturing Co.'. Before video games, Namco was originally a 'rocking-horse rides' manufacturer.
Joining Namco, Toru wanted to design pinball games. Gee Bee, "Cutie Q" and "Bomb Bee" were his arcade game hybrids. Toru would achieve later, greater fame by designing "Pac-Man".
