JVC
Victor Company of Japan, Ltd. (日本ビクター株式会社 Nippon Bikutā Kabushiki-gaisha), TYO: 6792, usually referred to as JVC or The Japan Victor Company, is a Japanese international professional and consumer electronics corporation based in Yokohama. Founded in 1927, the company is best known for introducing Japan’s first televisions and for developing the Video Home System (VHS) video recorder.

From 1953 to 2008, Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. was the majority stockholder in JVC. In 2008, JVC merged with Kenwood Corporation to create JVCKenwood. JVC sold their electronic products in their home market of Japan under the “Victor” name with the His Master’s Voice logo, but used the name JVC or Nivico in the past for export due to differing ownership of the His Master’s Voice logo and the ownership of the “Victor” name from successors of the Victor Talking Machine Company. In 2011, the Victor brand for electronics in Japan was replaced by the global brand. However, the previous “Victor” name and logo is retained by Kenwood Victor Entertainment.

In October 2001, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences presented JVC an Emmy Award for “outstanding achievement in technological advancement” for “Pioneering Development of Consumer Camcorders”. Annual sponsorships of the world-renowned Tokyo Video Festival and the Jazz Festival have helped attract the attention of more customers.
