Sony
Japanese conglomerate. Involved in every aspect of the audio and visual markets, from personal stereo's through esoteric hi-fi to professional recording equipment and computer based gear. Also owns a host of brands and or companies that it uses to differentiate its products like Aiwa and Wega and Oxford (Digital pro audio). Originally founded in 1945 as Tokyo-Tsushin Kenkyusho by Masaru Ibuka but a year later merged into a new company called Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo Co. when he took Akio Morita as a partner, the company was popularly known in Japan as Totsuko, but changed into the current name in the 1958 because people in some Western markets had problems pronouncing the original name and to them it sounded very similar to the names of other Japanese companies. The Sony name comes from one of their older brandnames, the Soni-Tape that was used on blank tape products from 1951 to the 60's, the current spelling with an Y at the end is for graphical rather than linguistic reasons, it simply looks better.
