6. How the world's most popular brands started
1) Canon
In 1933, Canon was known as Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory. In early 1930s, the company produced a camera called the Kwanon, which was the prototype for Japan’s first-ever 35 mm camera with a focal plane based shutter.

Kwanon was a named derived from the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy as it 'embodied the Company's vision of creating the best cameras in the world'. Hence, in the same year, the company trademark was officially registered as Canon.
