Shōjirō Ishibashi was a Japanese businessman who founded the Bridgestone Corporation, the world's largest maker of tires, in 1931 in the city of Kurume, Fukuoka, Japan. The company was named after its founder: in the Japanese language, ishi means "stone" and hashi means "bridge", whence the origin of the company's name in English.
