  Wired 1.05: The Comeback of Japanese Software Entrepreneur Kay Nishi

 MSX
\nMSX was conceived by Kazuhiko Nishi of Microsoft Japan, now ASCII Corporation, who was attempting to create a single standard by which any company could build a compatible computer.
Nishi's standard consisted primarily of several off-the-shelf parts, the main CPU was the Zilog Z80 running at 3.58MHz, graphics were provided by the Texas Instruments TMS9918, in use in their own failed TI-99, and sound by the General Instruments AY-3-8910.
In the 1980s Japan was in the midst of a powerful economic awakening that many in the "western world" thought unstoppable -- a new yellow peril as it were.

 Japanese computer nostalgia rocks it good
Nishi, who came into the conference room before the MC could introduce him, was welcomed by a wave of applause from the packed house.
Nishi emphasized the new speed possibilities of the one-chip MSX - "If we use the technology we have now to put the MSX in a chip, we'll be able to aim for a clock speed of 100MHz [the original was 4MHz]." He also said that portable MSXes could be sold for 9800 yen.
Nishi closed by rousing up the audience with how he sees the MSX's revival in the future: "To be honest, before I gave the speech at last year's show, I had given up on the MSX a long time ago.

 Albuquerque Tribune Online: Business
Nishi said there are three elements to ensure continued U.S. control over Internet technology: Integrate the growth of U.S. information technology with other nations' information technology sectors; expand e-commerce globally and make the U.S. dollar the main world currency; and encourage the use of English as the world's standard language.
Nishi suggested the United States spread computer education throughout the world, raise national computer education to the highest level in the world and establish and protect copyrights at an international level.
Nishi says it is impossible to overtake the United States in the global market, however, because Japan's university education is too weak, not enough Japanese people speak English, much of the country's PC industry has moved to Taiwan and the United States is already dominating the Internet globally.

Nishi's standard consisted primarily of several off-the-shelf parts, the main CPU was the Zilog Z80 running at 3.58MHz, graphics were provided by the Texas Instruments TMS9918, in use in their own failed TI-99/4a and the Colecovision, and sound by the General Instruments AY-3-8910.
None of these were particularly advanced examples of contemporary design, although when Nishi proposed the standard in 1982 they added up to a reasonably competitive machine.
In 2001, Kazuhiko Nishi initiated an 'MSX Revival' around an official MSX emulator called 'MSX PLAYer'.

With only minimal capital and an unrelenting drive, Nishi, who had founded the company to publish his articles that kept getting rejected from other publications, developed a corporate structure that became a model Japanese-style intermediary business, specializing in horizontal diversification.
