Nihon Bussan Co., Ltd. (日本物産株式会社 Nihon Bussan Kabushikigaisha) is a Japanese video game manufacturer, commonly known as Nichibutsu (ニチブツ). The company uses an owl sign for the company's official logo. The company has its headquarters in Kita-ku, Osaka.[1]

Established in 1970, the company started making video games in 1978. In the middle of 1980s, the company began to make strip mahjong games. The 1988 game "Tatakae! Big Fighter" ended up being their last arcade game other than mahjong titles. Currently Nichibutsu produces strip mahjong games that use DVDs for video playback. Nichibutsu's popularity was at its peak in 1980 when the company announced and released Moon Cresta (shooting) and Crazy Climber (action).
