is a Japanese multinational consumer electronics company headquartered in Kyoto, Japan. It was originally founded in 1889 to produce handmade hanafuda cards. It eventually became one of the most prominent figures in today's video game industry, being the world's largest video game company by revenue. ==Origin==
Nintendo started out as a small Japanese company, founded by Fusajiro Yamauchi on September 23, 1889,〔(【引用サイトリンク】archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20101029043950/http://kotaku.com/5419373/nintendos-1955-cameo-in-the-new-york-time )〕 as Nintendo Koppai. Based in Kyoto, Japan, the business produced and marketed ''Hanafuda'' cards. The name "Nintendo" is commonly assumed to mean "leave luck to heaven", but there are no historical records to validate this assumption.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title="Nintendo" Might Not Mean What You Think )〕 The cards, which were all handmade, soon began to gain popularity, and Yamauchi had to hire assistants to mass-produce cards to keep up with demand. Fusajiro Yamauchi did not have a son to take over the family business. Following common Japanese tradition, he adopted his son-in-law, Sekiryo Yamauchi, (after the marriage). In 1929, Yamauchi retired from the company and allowed Sekiryo Yamauchi to take over the company as president. In 1933, Sekiryo Yamauchi established a joint venture with another company and renamed the company Yamauchi Nintendo & Co. In 1947, Sekiryo established a distribution company, Marufuku Co., Ltd.,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nintendo History )〕 to distribute the Hanafuda cards, as well as several other brands of cards that had been introduced by Nintendo. Sekiryo Yamauchi also had only daughters, so again his son-in-law (Shikanojo Inaba, renamed Shikanojo Yamauchi) was adopted into the family. Shikanojo never became president because he left his family. Subsequently, his son Hiroshi was brought up by his grandparents. Hiroshi later took over the company instead of his father.
