Nobutoshi Kihara died Feb. 13 at the age of 84. Sony has just made public a new internal memo from his PD G Howard Stringer. He is considered by many as the father of Sony technology. Author of more than 700 patents, he is the father of the Walkman and the Betamax of an early transistor radios. He is largely responsible for the rise of the firm internationally.
He joined Sony at the time was called Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Company, just after graduating from Waseda University in Tokyo. From a family of engineers, he paid his tuition by repairing radios. He quickly distinguished himself by creating the first magnetic tape recorder on.
He made himself the prototype by heating iron in a pan to collect hair at the ferric oxide necessary for the recording media. A lack of clerks in Japan has created a significant demand for such tools that the engineer has continued to miniaturize. He also created the Walkman for one of Sony executives who asked him for a solution to listen to operas during long air travel.
