Fiver Firm (五合企業有限公司), originally operating in English as Namco Co., Ltd and Namcot[1], was a Taiwanese company that was involved in activities related to video games. They are known to have published two video games for the Famicom and Game Boy Color in total, and would additionally sell video game accessories.
As Namco Corporation, they published Dian Shi Ma Li (Big TV Mary Bar) for the Famicom in 1989.[2] Its sole known credited release under the Fiver Firm name is the Game Boy Color fighting game e'Fighter HOT, dating from around 2000-2001. Their activities in the intervening period currently remain unknown. Despite their original English name being "Namco Corporation", the company has no relations with the Japan video game developer of the same name (now known as Bandai Namco Entertainment).

Three video game region converters that use Fiver Firm's logo are known to have been released. Each of these region converters were for a different console and feature product codes that start with "WH-". It is unclear if these products actually originate from Fiver Firm, but the code prefix for these products may suggest that this is the case as it can be interpreted as an abbreviation of the pinyin of Fiver Firm's Chinese name (Wu He).
