Sony has gone a long way from being an electronics shop in Tokyo at the end of World War II. In 1946, the present multinational company started out with Masaru Ibuka and just 8 employees in their shop located in a department store in Tokyo. On May that year, Ibuki partnered with Akio Morita and established the Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo or the Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Corporation. This was the company who produced Type-G, which was considered as Japan's first ever tape recorder. After 12 years, this company changed their name to "Sony" and this name had made innovations in the technology industry ever since.
