Taito Station: Japan’s Wild Game Centers! - LIVE JAPAN

What’s there to do in Tokyo? If you visit a few of the major areas of Tokyo, you will no doubt come across a Taito Station, one of Japan’s leading game center chains. Easily recognizable by their multi-storied buildings, with a bold red and white logo featuring their famous Space Invaders character. Even if you aren’t familiar with the Taito Corporation name, you have probably come across one of its many creations at some point. The Japanese company, which was founded, surprisingly, by Russian Jewish businessman Michael Kogan in 1953, was responsible for the creation of some of the world’s earliest arcade games, including classics such as Space Invaders in 1978, and Bubble Bobble in 1986.
