I'm not an expert on the history of Konami and its divisions, but maybe someone can shed some light on what seems to be a complete mess of how people are attaching Konami to particular games. Here's a list of the ones I could find.
Konami Software Shanghai, Inc. (active dev studio)
Konami COmputer Entertainment Hawaii, Inc. (defunction dev studio as of Aug 2006)
Konami Computer Entertainment Kobe, Inc. (defunct dev studio absorbed into KCE Tokyo)
Konami Computer Entertainment Nagoya Co., Ltd. (defunct dev studio absorbed into KCE Tokyo)
Konami Digital Entertainment Ltd. Korea Branch (as far as I can tell, the Korea branch is just an office, not a dev studio...and this page is empty)
Konami Digital Entertainment Limited (Hong Kong)
Anyone want to take a stab at this clusterfuck? There's got to be some combine/merge potential here.

is there any difference between those 3? the korea/gmbh(europe) seem fine to leave separate, but i can't tell the difference besides name in these.
Yeah, I think it's safe to merge those together. The second one doesn't even have anything on it. And from the deck, it appears that Konami Digital Entertainment is the new name for the American branch of Konami. So those three should also be merged with..." what about we start with the digital entertainments?
