William Gorham (engineer)
was an American automobile engineer who emigrated to Japan. Gorham would make substantial contributions to the technology and capability of Japan's fledging automobile industry, and worked with a number of companies that would eventually be merged into the Nissan Motor Company by Yoshisuke Aikawa, who would become a close friend and business partner to Gorham.
In David Halberstam's 1986 book ''The Reckoning,'' Halberstam states: "In terms of technology, Gorham was the founder of the Nissan Motor Company" and that "In 1983, sixty-five years after () arrival... young Nissan engineers who had never met him spoke of him as a god and could describe in detail his years at the company and his many inventions."
==Early life==
Gorham was born in San Francisco, California in 1888 to William J. Gorham, an Asia area manager at tire manufacturer B.F. Goodrich. He accompanied his father on business trips to Japan in his youth, and after graduating from Heald College founded Gorham Engineering in San Francisco with his father in 1911.〔()〕 The company's products included hot bulb engines, fire pumps, and motorboats.
