What started as a small company from Japan, has today bloomed into an international enterprise, with subsidiaries in Asia, Europe, and North America. Early years Capcom was founded on May 30 1979, as I.R.M. Corporation, by Kenzo Tsujimoto, while he was still president of Irem Corporation, another Japanese video game manufacturer and publisher.

But the year of 1987 would change everything for the Japanese company. Fighting in the streets After working in the production of Irem’s 1984 beat ‘em up game Kung-Fu Master, which was an instant success both in Asia and North America, Japanese designer, director and producer Takashi Nishiyama came up with the idea for a fighting game centered around the boss fights of the previous title. Inspired by Bruce Lee films Enter the Dragon and Game of Death, Nishiyama began developing this game in late 1986.

In 1987 the game was finally ready, and Capcom released its first competitive fighting game: Street Fighter. Featuring several playable characters in an one-on-one gameplay, the game introduced many concepts that would become standards for fighting games, such as the six-button controls and the use of command-based special techniques. Street Fighter was a critical and commercial success, and generated a whole series of fighting video games, with the first sequel, Street Fighter II, being released in 1991 and achieving huge worldwide popularity.

With an innovative gameplay and stunning graphics and atmosphere, Resident Evil set the ground for a whole new genre, receiving critical and commercial acclaim, and is regarded as one of the greatest and most influential video games of all time, giving birth to a multimedia franchise that includes several sequels, films, comics, novels, and a plethora of other merchandising. The series is Capcom’s best-selling franchise, having sold over 110 million copies worldwide as of 2021, and the highest-selling horror game series in history. But Capcom isn’t all about Street Fighter and Resident Evil.
