Mizuno

- FOUNDER: RIHACHI MIZUNO

Mizuno first started manufactur­ing their own baseballs and gloves in 1913, moving away from strictly imported products. They also made the first nationally-made golf clubs of Japan – “Star Line” – in 1933, and opened the largest golf showroom in the world in 1935. Notably, Tiger Woods used Mizuno golf clubs until 1996. Now, Mizuno makes a wide variety of sports equipment and sportswear not only for golf, but also tennis, baseball, football, volleyball, running, skiing, cycling, judo, badminton, and several other sports.
