Locomotive logo

Locomotive Corporation, Ltd. (株式会社ロコモティブ) was a Kyoto-based development house started in May 1987 and headed by Hiroshi Okamoto (岡本博視). [1] The company opened offices in Vietnam (involved in business software) and Cambodia (now Locomo) in 1995 and 1996 respectively.

In 2004, Okamoto co-founded Apria, a company that sells organic cosmetics. [2] It is alleged he programmed the infamous Transformers game Convoy no Nazo for the Famicom. [3]

Not to be confused with the defunct THQ-owned Locomotive Games.
