The story of the Toshiba Corporation begins in 1875 and is closely linked to the person of its ingenious founder, Hisashige Tanaka known as the Thomas Edison of Japan.

Tanaka's great dream was to develop technologies that would truly benefit people everywhere. A philosophy that is reflected by the slogan of the corporation: Committed to People. Committed to the Future.
