Tanaka Hisashige (1799-1881) was a Japanese inventor and entrepreneur active from the late Edo through early Meiji periods. Known as 'Karakuri Giemon' for his masterful mechanical puppets, he transitioned from traditional automata to modern technology — building Japan's first domestically made steam locomotive and warship models. At age 75, he founded a telegraph equipment factory in Tokyo that became the foundation of Toshiba Corporation. He is called 'the Thomas Edison of Japan.'
