The history of origin
One of the two founders of Toshiba was Hisashige Tanaka who was born on September 18, 1799 as the son of an artisan. His inventive spirit developed as a child and he designed sophisticated toys. Hisashige worked hard. He studied mathematics and astronomy and used his unique imagination to invent many things. In 1875 he founded the company Tanaka Engineering Works (Tanaka Seizo-sho), which was later renamed Shibaura Engineering Works (Shibaura Seisaku-sho). Under this name, the company became Japan's largest manufacturer of heavy electronic equipment, such as B. Telegraphic Equipment.
Toshiba's second founding father was Ichisuke Fujioka . He was born in 1857 as the eldest son of a samurai. At the age of 18 he began studying engineering. During his academic years he traveled to the USA, among other places, and met Thomas Edison there. Shortly after his return, he set himself the goal of opening Japan's first lightbulb factory. Then, in 1890, Japan's first light bulb manufacturer, Hakunetsu-sha & Co., Ltd. founded. Nine years later it was renamed Tokyo Electronic Company (Tokyo Denki) and from then on also added consumer goods to its range.
The history of Toshiba begins in 1939 with the merger of Tokyo Electronic Company (Hakunetsu-sha) and Shibaura Engineering Works Co. Ltd. (Tanaka Seisaku-sho). The new company was called Tokyo Shibaura Electric Co. Ltd. , but became known under the abbreviation Toshiba . The original Tokyo Electric Company left this group of companies in 1950 and traded as TEC Corporation.
In 1978 the group was officially renamed Toshiba Corporation. However, in 1999 the Toshiba Corporation merged again with the TEC Corporation and so a holding company called Toshiba TEC Corporation was created with its headquarters in Tokyo.

In 1973 Toshiba introduced its first analog copier.
