Nihon Goraku Bussan (日本娯楽物産株式会社, lit. Japanese Amusement Products Company, Inc.^[1]) was a successor to the distribution arm of Service Games, Japan, incorporated on the same day as Nihon Kikai Seizou (the manufacturing arm) in Japan. It was operated by Richard Stewart^[2].

The company's history is not fully understood, however it is thought to have been and traded as Uta Matic^[3]^[4].

Despite originally being split in 1960, Nihon Goraku Bussan would acquire Nihon Kikai Seizo (trading as "Sega, Inc."^[4]) in June 1964. This now bigger^[8] Nihon Goraku Bussan would merge with Rosen Enterprises to create Sega Enterprises, Ltd. in 1965^[7]^[9].
