Kokuyo Ltd. Stationery Branch

Kokuyo was founded on 1905 by a businessperson Kuroda Zentaro. It is originally called the Kuroda Hyo-shi ten. The "Kokuyo" name was originally written in Kanji when it changed its name to "Kokuyo" in 1917, but changed into Katakana in 1961. It manufactured much less writing products and correcting products, and it's products are majority cutting and sticking products, like scissors and glue tapes. Other products that Kokuyo produces are notebooks, holders, and even staple-LESS staplers.
