Who was Tokuji Hayakawa?

Tokuji Hayakawa was a Japanese businessman and the founder of Hayakawa Kinzoku Kougyou. He invented and patented the “Tokubijo” belt buckle in 1912 and invented the "Ever Ready Sharp" mechanical pencil in 1915.

The success of the “Tokubijo” belt buckle led to Hayakawa starting his own metallurgical processing, which then developed into the present-day Sharp Corporation.
