The good sir appears to have passed away on January 22, 2017 at 3:42AM. May he rest in peace.

Already being updated on the JP side of things. OhkokuKishi (talk) 06:53, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lead section[edit]

I added his stepping down from CEO and receiving the "Order of the Sun" award. I want to expand the lead further, but I have trouble picking which else is most essential and how else to introduce this person. I welcome your shared comments. --George Ho (talk) 22:54, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Nakamura Amusement Manufacturing Company" or "Nakamura Amusement Machine Manufacturing Co." or "Nakamura Manufacturing Co."[edit]

There is very little clarity on this point in sources. The only source at Namco that is used for "Nakamura Manufacturing Co." is a missing 1up link. Meanwhile, when search 2016 and earlier (to eliminate his death), sources suggests "Nakamura Amusement Machine Manufacturing Co." (but one has to watch for links dated pre-2017 but are just duplicating news headlines, to avoid the circular sourcing with WP aspects. So I'm not sure what is right here, it is completely inconsistent right now. --MASEM (t) 18:57, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Here is a Namco ad in the industry trades in 1977. Note that this is just after the name change, so it refers to both the old and new name ("Seisakusho" literally means "industrial works" or "industrial plant," but is usually translated into English as "manufacturing" in a name like this). Also, this is a copy of the corporate history timeline that used to exist on Namco's corporate page many, many years ago. It notes name changes in 1959 and 1977, neither of which contain the words "amusement machine." Indrian (talk) 19:14, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Fair enough, and checking more (now that I have time) shows that appears to be the true correct history, these other names made up and mis-reported over time. That last link we probably want over at the Namco article as well as here to justify it better. --MASEM (t) 06:09, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • I just want to add some faithful information on this, and also about why I removed some old content yesterday. I've found an official japanese book researched on Namco, published in 1984 (『超発想集団ナムコ』 前野和久. PHP 研究所, 1984 P1 P2). It officially wrote: namco is the abbreviation of Nakamura Manufacturing Company, this logo was designed by a director named Toshio Kai (甲斐敏夫), who also composed for Pac-Man. The rumor of "Nakamura Amusement Machine Manufacturing Company" or "Nakamura Masaya Company" or "NakaMura Company", these were informal statements from Nakamura san, just free imagination, dont be seriously. --Chenke (talk) 14:34, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
