                    Subsidiary's Revised Forecast of Japanese GAAP Earnings and Dividends
                                       for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2003
                                      (Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo, Inc.)


Konami Corporation hereby announces that its subsidiary, Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo, Inc. (the Company),
revised its Japanese GAAP earnings forecast and dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003, which were
previously released on November 13, 2002.


1.       Earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003 (April 1, 2002 to March 31, 2003)

                                                                                                      (Millions of yen)

                                     Net Revenues       Ordinary Income       Net Income       Year-end Dividend
                                                                                                  per Share
Previous forecast (A)                    11,000               3,050               1,750            49.00 yen
Revised forecast (B)                     13,300               4,300               2,450            85.50 yen
Change (B)-(A)                            2,300               1,250                 700            36.50 yen
Change (Percentage)                       20.9%               41.0%               40.0%                    -


2.       Reasons for the revision

During the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003, sales of Pro Evolution Soccer 2 and WORLD SOCCER WINNING ELEVEN 6:Final
Evolution for the PlayStation 2, and sales of the Dance Dance Revolution series for the overseas market have been
stronger than expected. As a result, net revenues, ordinary income and net income are expected to surpass the previous
forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003, and the Company revised its earnings forecast upwards as shown
above. Cash dividends had been based on the goal of paying out 40% of net income. However, from the fiscal year ending
March 31, 2003, the Company set a goal for cash dividends equivalent to 50% of net income to return more profit to
shareholders. Accordingly, cash dividends per share for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003 have been revised from
49.00 yen to 85.50 yen.


3.       Reference: Financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 (April 1, 2001 to March 31, 2002)
