[edit] Yu-Gi-oh

I've noticed that yu-gi-oh is only a video game francise even though it is (was) a popular trading card series, so can some one add that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.83.117.135 (talk) 04:16, August 29, 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Toilet papger

I've seen Konami brand toilet paper before. No relation? Another thing, apparently Konami had the rights to Yu-Gi-Oh? That's a big coincidince,oh Konami also makes makes many other interesting health care stuff(psych).

Yeah i was reading and i was wondering why it only said "Yu-gi-oh franchise (video games)" under productions and nothing else. Konami licenses both the video games and cards. definatly needs to updated or something. EvilHom3r 20:35, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] # of emplyees

I want to add the number of employees (4,393), but when I preview it, it doesn't show up in the infobox. Thunderbrand 15:49, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)

They took that field out of the infobox. You can add it if you want in case they decide to add that field back in. I was going to do it yesterday, when I noticed this as well. K1Bond007 16:56, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)

Is it a good idea that we disperse info about employees like that,I think it's plagarism

[edit] Apologies

I added a fairly substantial section on the Konami/Ultra/Palcom relationship which was misleadingly tagged as minor by mistake (my mouse slipped :-) ). Just wanted to apologize to everyone who has their watchlist set to ignore minor edits and can't figure out why the page has changed so much. – Seancdaug 05:01, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Konami Computer Entertainment Japan/Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo to Konami Merger

The Konami Computer Entertainment Japan (KCEJ) and Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo (KCET) articles are pretty much duplicates of the Konami article and therefore I believe that any information in the KCEJ and KCET articles that is not covered in the Konami article should be merged into the Konami article. I will wait for a week or two before performing the merger and I would like to hear your opinion on the matter. If you have any suggestions or feedback in general simply post it below. --cheese-cube 03:13, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Apologies, but I went ahead and did the merger as it appears to be supported and it's been over a month :> It possibly needs a little cleaning up. Marasmusine 08:19, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Konami School

I just found out that Konami has a school for teaching how to make videogames.

http://www.konamischool.jp/

Why there is no info about this?

[edit] Leftovers from the merge

Following the merge from Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo, this list of KCET properties is left over. It didn't seem appropriate to put it into the article, but perhaps a Category or List? Marasmusine 08:15, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removed silly tidbit

I've removed the following passage:

"Konami is know for US shortages of their popular game series: Castlevania and Lost in Blue"
If for some reason someone objects ot this it can be readded, but please find a source before doing so. --Thaddius 14:05, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 573?

Are you sure about the 573? Isn't 7 "sichi" and 3 "san" in Japanese? Mr100percent 04:52, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

7 can be pronounced by either of "shichi", "nana" or "na" in Japanese. A number in Japanese has one or more pronunciations like kanji, so an abbreviation could be easily built by numbers. This manner is widely used in daily life of Japanese people for reading telephone number, license plate or things like that. 4649 (yo-ro-shi-ku, means thank you/regards) and 5963 (go-ku-ro-san, means that's tough) are some of the most popular abbreviations in Japan. Pronouncing "na" and "mi" is old style Japanese, so they are not usual and only used for making abbreviation in today. --Uiweo 04:11, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Formality

This article isn't written very formal. Is it ok if I start to work on it?Quatreryukami 02:07, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] anime doll/plushie

I have two anime doll or plushies or whatever they are called, on the tag it says (in japanese) "Tomomeki Memoriaru" (Tomomeki Memorial), I am wondering if anybody knows what this is. Also, it may say Tomonuki Memoriaru as the tag has some mold on it and I can tell whether the hiragana is 'me' or 'nu'... lol 24.129.237.34 (talk) 00:24, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

I think the name is "Tokimeki Memorial", not "Tomomeki Memorial". "Tokimeki Memorial" is a dating sim series made by Konami.E Wing (talk) 04:02, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
