In 1915, Ryōsuke Namiki, a mechanical engineer and professor at the University of Marine Science and Technology in Tokyo, along with his colleague Masao Wada, founded a small fountain pen nib factory, the Namiki Manufacturing Company. Three years later Pilot emerged from this endeavour. With is vast line of quality writing instruments, Pilot quickly became, and remians to this day, one of the most popular pen companies world-wide.
