Overview edit · view history

Diamond Head Production (ダイヤモンドヘッドプロダクション) was an internal Konami team responsible for the company's baseball sports games, most notably the Jikkyō Powerful Pro Yakyū series and its many spinoffs. In 2004, the team name was changed to Pawapuro Production (パワプロプロダクション), and at some point later it was changed to Baseball Contents Production (ベースボールコンテンツプロダクション).

The team was formally established as part of KCE Osaka (later KCE Studios) in 1995, and continued after Konami consolidated its games operations under Konami Digital Entertainment (KDE) in 2006. It was merged back into the main KDE production teams in March 2015.

Key members of the team throughout its existence included Isao Akada, Kōji Toyohara, Kazuhiko Uehara, and Kenji Fujioka.
