Tecmo, Ltd. (テクモ株式会社, Tekumo kabushikigaisha), was a Japanese video game corporation founded in 1967. It had its headquarters in the Kudankita district of Tokyo.[4] Its subsidiary, Tecmo Inc, was located in Torrance, California.[5] Prior to 1986, Tecmo was formerly known as Tehkan.
Tecmo is known for the Captain Tsubasa, Dead or Alive, Deception, Fatal Frame, Gallop Racer, Monster Rancher, Ninja Gaiden, Rygar, Star Force and Tecmo Bowl video game series. When it was still called Tehkan, the company released arcade games such as Bomb Jack, Gridiron Fight and Tehkan World Cup.[6]
In 2009, Tecmo merged with Koei to form the holding company Tecmo Koei Holdings and was operated as a subsidiary[6] until April 2010 when Tecmo was dissolved. Its brand continued to be used until 2016.[7] Its video game franchises are now owned and published by Koei Tecmo Games.[2][8]
