Zebra

Founded in 1897, the brand’s name comes from the founder of Zebra, Tokumatsu Ishikawa, having the desire that all members of the company would share the same goal: making indispensable pens that would aid in developing and improving culture. This was inspired by him knowing that zebras protect themselves from a developed sense of maintaining a herd. Their most popular products are the Sarasa gel pens and Mildliner highlighters.
