History

Namco bought the Italian Tomato restaurant chain in 1986. Under Namco control, the store has been featured as a background in the Namco arcade and video console game hits Tekken 3 and Tekken Tag Tournament; the front of the store can be found in Ling Xiaoyu's stage, which is themed like an amusement park. Also, a cameo of this restaurant appeared in the Nintendo Family Computer RPG Rasāru Ishii no Childs Quest.

In 2005, Namco sold the majority share of Italian Tomato to, a food distributor and cafe operator. Since Namco, now Bandai Namco Games is a significant minority shareholder.
