Our predecessor was Tokyo Uoichiba Co., Ltd., which was established at the same time as the opening of Tsukiji Market in 1935 (Showa 10). This company became a statutory company in accordance with the wartime statutory company ordinance. After World War Ⅱ when this law was abolished, the company name was changed to Tokyo Suisanbutsu Co., Ltd. Although it was designated one of the closed organizations as a former statutory seafood company, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries issued a reorganization order because of the importance of its public operations, and in March 1948 (Showa 23), Tohto Suisan Co., Ltd., was established with 7 million yen in capital as a predominate company that inherited the operations, directors, and employees of the former company.
