March 5, 1910 – January 5, 2007
Founder Momofuku Ando was born in 1910, when Halley’s Comet came very close to the earth.
Born in Taiwan during the period of Japanese rule, he was born under the name of Go Baek Hok and is a Taiwanese citizen. did.
He lost his parents when he was young, and grew up watching the business scene up close with his grandparents who ran a kimono shop.
Momofuku Ando, who had a strong sense of independence and a strong desire to start a business, chose the textile business first because he wanted to do something new that no one else was doing.
At the tender age of 22, he founded a company that sold knitwear, and he achieved great success.
He was also involved in other businesses, such as the manufacture of magic lanterns, the charcoal burning business, the manufacture of barrack houses, the production of salt, and the establishment of schools.
It was around this time that the entrepreneurial spirit of quickly catching the trends of the times and quickly commercializing them, as well as the vitality of not giving up even in the face of failure, sprouted.
And no matter what kind of business they did, they were based on the firm conviction that “Isn’t there something I can do to help people?”
After the end of the war, Japan experienced a food shortage, and the streets were flooded with hungry people.
Seeing this tragic scene, he said, “After all, food is important.
Without food, there would be no clothing, no housing, no art, no culture.”
Momofuku Ando, creator of Nissin Foods Cup Noodles, lives in prison
allegations of tax evasion
At the age of 38, in December 1948, after Japan was defeated in the war, he was accused of tax evasion by GHQ (the U.S. military that ruled Japan during the war) for selling salt.
Mr. Ando hired local young people in the aforementioned project and provided them with cash as “scholarships.” That was the reason.
He was sentenced to four years of hard labor and imprisoned in the Sugamo Detention Center.
In addition, all real estate owned by Mr. Ando in his personal name was confiscated.
After his imprisonment, the GHQ announced a statement by mentioning Momofuku, stating that “those who violate tax obligations will be severely punished.” Regarding this incident, Mr. Ando said, “It seems to have been used to show off.”
He was in prison until he was 48 years old.
Bankruptcy of Osaka Bank, found guilty of breach of trust
During his imprisonment, he was forced to liquidate the business he had been running, which sent his entrepreneurial life back to square one.
He was solicited by Osaka Bank, a credit union established in Osaka, and assumed the position of chairman, but in September 1957, Osaka Bank went bankrupt, and he became penniless.
In this bankruptcy, Ando was charged with breach of trust for misappropriating funds from Osaka Bank to buy up adzuki beans, and was sentenced to a suspended sentence.
