In 1874, Kibataro Yoshizaki (later changed to Kibataro Oki) moved from Hiroshima to Tokyo in search of a new life. He found work at the state-run Telegraph Bureau and over the next six years Oki played a key role in developing and improving telecommunication technologies for the Japanese government. In 1880, Oki left the Telegraph Bureau to open his own business, Meikosha, Ltd. Oki had a very intelligent and industrious mind and had developed something similar to the telephone at around the same time Thomas Edison had. Over the next few years, the newly named Oki Electric Works expanded rapidly by securing several key military contracts and in 1885 he invented lacquer coated copper wiring. At the same time, Tokyo Electric Light and the Ministry of Communications were introducing electricity and telephone services throughout Japan and Oki sold his insulated wires to them. Over the next few decades, Oki Electric Works transformed itself into an electronics company that developed and manufactured teletypewriters, microcomputers, automatic teller machines, and the world's first automobile telephone system. In 1972, the company expanded into the United States with its OkiData Corporation and began developing dot printers. Today, Oki continues to develop new products to make individual lives easier, such as high quality laser printers, fax machines, toners, semiconductors, digital switches, mobile communications, and other networking solutions.
