In 1915, Ryōsuke Namiki, a mechanical engineer and professor at the Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, left his job and founded, together with his colleague Masao Wada, a small factory manufacturing gold nibs for fountain pens, which they named the Namiki Manufacturing Company. Three years later, Pilot was born.
With its wide range of writing instruments, Pilot quickly became one of the best and most popular pen companies on the market.
