In the beginning, Ryosuke Namiki, the founder of Pilot Corporation, realized
the need for improving existing pens used for drawing during his tenure as a
professor at the Tokyo Merchant Marine College. After making a
prototype fountain pen, he formed a partnership with one of his colleagues,
Masao Wada and started manufacturing and selling fountain pens in 1918.
The company was
capitalized at 200,000 yen and named The Namiki Manufacturing Company. In 1938,
it was renamed, The Pilot Pen Co., Ltd., and subsequently named Pilot
Corporation in 1989.

innovating and pushing the limits of writing instrument technology Today, PILOT
is one of the only manufacturers in the world which is able to carry out all of
the stages necessary to create a writing instrument.
