Leaving SNK due to feeling the need to take responsibility for the coming dire situation at the time, he went on to found Dimps in 2000 when core staff of SNK also resigned after him, expecting Nishima to have some sort of plan. With the help of key people from [[wikipedia:Sammy Corporation|Sammy]] (now [[wikipedia:Sega Sammy Holdings|Sega Sammy]]), [[w:c:namco:Bandai Namco Entertainment|Bandai Namco Games]] and [[wikipedia:SCSK|CSK]], he started Sokiac which was later renamed renamed Dimps.
 
 
He is sometimes credited as "Piston Takashi" or "T. Nishiyama".
