Akio Morita T shirt
About this design
This t-shirt design admires Akio Morita, the inventor of the revolutionary Sony Walkman, among other things.
In 1946, Akio Morita founded Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha (Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Corporation, the forerunner to Sony Corporation) with about 20 employees and initial capital of ¥190,000 (approx £1200). Morita was 25.
In 1949, the company developed magnetic recording tape and in 1950, sold the first tape recorder in Japan. In 1957, it produced a pocket-sized radio and in 1958 Morita and Ibuka made the decision to rename their company Sony (Sonus is Latin for "sound" and Sonny-boys is Japanese slang for "whiz kids"). In 1960 it produced the first transistor television in the world. In 1975 it released the first Betamax home video recorder, a year before VHS was released onto the market. In 1979 the Sony Walkman was introduced, making it the world's first portable music player. In 1984 Sony launched the Discman series which extended their Walkman brand to portable CD products.
Admire the greatest pioneer in the portable music industry, Akio Morita by wearing this t-shirt!
