"Sony Corporation (ソニー株式会社 Sonī Kabushiki Gaisha?), commonly referred
to as Sony, is a Japanese multinational conglomerate corporation
headquartered in Kōnan Minato, Tokyo, Japan. Its diversified business
is primarily focused on the electronics (TV, gaming consoles,
refrigerators), game, entertainment and financial services sectors. It
was established on May 7, 1946 as Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo (Tokyo
Telecommunications Engineering Corporation). Its founders derived the
name from sonus, the Latin word for sound, and also from the English
slang word "sonny", since they considered themselves to be "sonny
boys", a loan word into Japanese which in the early 1950s connoted
smart and presentable young men"
