- Origin of the Company Name “Taiho”
- The name “Taiho” is derived from a mythical giant bird called Dapeng, which appears in “A Happy Excursion,” a Taoist classic written by the ancient Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi. “Taiho” is the Japanese pronunciation of Dapeng, a bird said to travel about 12,000 km with a single flap of its wings. Also, at the time of the company’s establishment, Japanese sumo wrestling Grand Champion (YOKOZUNA) Taiho was in his heyday. The company was named Taiho Pharmaceutical to evoke both these images of greatness and success.
