explanation: Japanese computer company founded by Kazuhiko Nishi in May 1977. Being one of the pioneers of computer industry in Japan, its business has been working well at that time, all the more since it was the exclusive distributor of Microsoft products in Japan. After failures of MSX project (standard of micro computers launched in June 1983 together with Microsoft) and other technology and finance disasters, the company is no more leader in the computer market.
