About SONY and its Founders:
SONY was founded in 1946 as Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Corporation, and introduced Japan’s first transistor radio in 1955, the SONY TR 55. The company officially changed its name to “SONY” in 1958.
SONY Co-founder Masaru Ibuka (1908 – 1997) was born in Nikko City, Japan. In 1946, along with Akio Morita, he co-founded “Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Corporation,” which became known as SONY Corporation in 1958.
Mr. Ibuka was instrumental in securing the licensing of transistor technology from Bell Labs in the 1950s,making Sony one of the first companies to apply transistor technology to non-military uses.
Akio Morita and Masaru Ibuka, then operating under the business name Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo, had been working on plans to introduce a transistor radio to the market since 1953. When the TR-55 was released in Japan in August 1955, it was the first transistor radio marketed in that country. The TR-55 featured the Sony name, but the company did not officially change its name to Sony until January 1958.
Mr. Ibuka also led the research and development team that developed SONY’s Trinitron color TV in 1967. Mr. Ibuka served as president of Sony from 1950 to 1971, and then served as chairman of Sony from 1971 until 1976.
