Taichiro Morinaga (1865–1937) was a Japanese philanthropist and was the first person to manufacture chocolates in Japan. ==Early life== Morinaga (1865–1937) was born on Japan's southern island of Kyushu. He had no formal education. His father died when he was 7. Later he became a potter's apprentice and went to Tokyo in his teens to sell pottery. He became a branch manager for a wholesaler in nearby Yokohama but his branch lost money after extending too much credit to customers because of leniency. Since employees were personally responsible for such losses, Morinaga searched for a way to repay his boss. With no local prospects found to repay the loss, Morinaga, at age 23, moved to the United States where he opened a hardware store in San Francisco. However, the venture was unsuccessful due to local boycotting due to his race.〔 During the visit, he converted to Christianity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Prominent People of Minato City: Taichiro Morinaga )〕
