Bandai Namco (Japan)

Bandai Namco is one of the world's largest toy manufacturers, although toys and games form only part of its diverse range. The company was formed in 2005 from the merger of toy and entertainment developer Bandai with videogame and amusement arcade designer Namco. The resulting group produces a wide range of electronic games, toys (including Tamagotchi digital pets) and action figures (based on the Gundam, Ben10 and similar TV shows), supported by an extensive entertainment division which produces linked television programming, games and amusement parks. Revenues for the year ending March 2010 were around $4bn. Shukuo Ishikawa is president & CEO.
