The first Japanese video game was Astro Race; released in 1973

Prior to that the earlier games has been made in the US:

The Galaxy Game was the earliest known coin-operated video game, which debuted on the campus of Stanford University in 1971; it did not receive distribution and was built from scratch on site.

Computer Space was the first commercially sold arcade game, released by Nutting Associates; also in 1971. It had a limited production run and was expensive to reproduce and transport.

The first game to reach commercial success and wide distribution was Pong; released by Atari Inc in 1972, they were based in California and eventually became Atari Corporation in 1984.

Taito and a few other Japanese competitors produced games in the early to mid 1970's but the first truly successful Japanese game was Space Invaders (by Taito), released in 1978. This brought with it the second generation of games and the famous wave of Arcade releases that followed such as Pac Man and Donkey Kong.
