On the 26th of January, 1921, in the small town of Nagoya, Aichi, Japan, a baby boy was born to a family of subsistent farmers. This baby boy was called Akio Morita.<br />Growing up in that remote Japanese village, most kids who were Akio’s peers did not see the possibility of becoming anything greater than the subsistent farmers and small-scale business owners their parents were. But Akio was different. He had a burning passion to become more than the soya sauce producers his parents were.
