In response, Nakamura Manufacturing opened a production plant in February 1966, moving its corporate office to a four-story building in Ōta, Tokyo.[3][7][4][12] The company secured a deal with Walt Disney Productions to produce children's rides in the likenesses of its characters, in addition to those using popular anime characters like Q-Taro; this move allowed the business to further expand its operations and become a driving force in the Japanese coin-op market.[12] Though the manufacturing facility was largely reserved for its Disney and anime rides, Nakamura also used it to construct larger, more elaborate mechanical games.
