In 1979, Toru Iwatani, who was an employee of the video-game company Namco, thought of the iconic game Pac-Man while looking at a pizza. The space left by a missing slice looked like a mouth, and it gave him an idea for a game about eating. The Japanese name for the game was Pakkuman, derived from a Japanese phrase that describes the sound a mouth makes when it opens and closes in quick succession. The name was anglicized to Pac-Man went it made the jump across the Pacific to North America.
