Nolan Bushnell founded an Atari division named Atari Japan in 1973. In 1974, Nakamura purchased Atari Japan for $500,000 USD and Nakamura Manufacturing Company became the sole distributor of Atari products in Japan.
In 1977, Nakamura Manufacturing Company was renamed Namco Limited. In February 2005, Namco merged with Bandai forming Bandai Namco Holdings. The two companies operated independently under the holding company until March 31, 2006, when the development divisions of the two companies were merged into Namco Bandai Games. The arcade divisions in the United Kingdom and Asia are the only divisions to retain the Namco name.
