Bandai, founded in 1950, began as a toy manufacturer but diversified into entertainment, focusing on producing toys and merchandise associated with popular anime and manga series. Namco, established in 1955, initially operated as an amusement ride company. However, they later ventured into the video game industry and became renowned for classic arcade games such as Pac-Man and Galaga. In 2005, Bandai and Namco joined forces to create Bandai Namco Holdings, which was subsequently renamed Bandai Namco Entertainment. This merger was a significant event in the Japanese entertainment industry, as it united two major players with diverse backgrounds.

Bandai Namco Entertainment is primarily recognized for its involvement in the video game sector. The company has developed and published a diverse array of video games across multiple genres, catering to various platforms, including consoles, PCs, and mobile devices. Notably, they own and oversee popular franchises like Tekken, Soulcalibur, Ace Combat, and the Tales series. Moreover, they have secured the rights to create games based on beloved anime and manga series, such as Dragon Ball, One Piece, and Naruto. The company is not limited to video games; it extends its reach to other realms of entertainment, including toys, merchandise, amusement parks, and anime production. This wide scope of activities contributes to their status as a significant player in the entertainment industry.
