	Sony USA - AKIO MORITA: BIOGRAPHY
		Sony Corporation, Monday, Oct. 3, 1999 -- Akio Morita was born on January 26, 1921, in the city of Nagoya, to a family of sake brewers.

		Morita's boundless curiosity and challenging spirit extended to his private life; he started skiing, tennis, and scuba diving when he was past 50 years old.

	Akio Morita Relationships
		Akio Morita may be easily manipulated too, when it comes to one of these important relationships, because he is so emotionally invested in it.
		Akio Morita has a freehanded, generous, open attitude and would prefer to spend and enjoy and partake in the pleasures of the moment than to save, discipline or budget himself.
		Akio's pleasure-loving nature and his emotional and material generosity discussed above are counterbalanced by a certain caution or restraint in expressing his affection, and by a fear of heartache.

	TIME Magazine \| 60 Years of Asian Heroes: Akio Morita and Masaru Ibuka
		Akio Morita, the naval officer, and Masaru Ibuka, the engineer, would stay partners and friends for more than 40 years, along the way building Sony, one of the iconic brands of the Japanese economic miracle.
		Their genius did not just consist of identifying consumer goods that were perfectly pitched for the time and place—in postwar Japan, tape recorders; then transistor radios and color TVs; then, in the 1980s, the Walkman—but of recognizing the benefits of thinking on a global scale.
		From the 1950s on, Morita spent much of his time in the U.S. In 1961, Sony became the first Japanese company to have its stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and a year later the first Japanese flag to fly in New York City since before the war appeared over Sony's midtown showrooms.

		The name "Sony" was chosen for the brand as a mix of the Latin word sonus, which is the root of sonic and sound, the English word "sunny", and from the word Sonny-boys which is Japanese slang for "whiz kids".
		Morita pushed for a word that does not exist in any language so that they could claim the word "Sony" as their own (which paid off when they sued a candy producer who also used the name who claimed that "Sony" was just an existing word in some language).[14]
