history
The newspaper was founded in 1874 by journalists Takashi Koyasu, Morimichi Motono and Shōkichi Shibata in the newspaper publisher Nisshusha. Published every two days at first, it came out daily after six months. During the 1880s and 1890s, the newspaper was known for the regular publication of literary works, such as Ozaki Kōyō . After Yomiuri was on the verge of bankruptcy in the 1920s, Matsutarō Shōriki bought the publishing house in 1924, which resulted in an increase in circulation. His innovations included sensational journalism, a full-page radio program and invitations to American baseball teams to visit Japan. In 1942, Yomiuri merged with Hōchi Shinbun .
After 1945 Matsutarō Shōriki's party affiliation with the then ruling Liberal Party shaped the newspaper. She soon became known as the mouthpiece for "little people". In 1977, Yomiuri Shinbun became the largest circulation newspaper in Japan.
