The name Kikkoman has proved to be a fitting one. In Japanese, kikko means “tortoise shell” and man means “ten thousand”. In Japan, the tortoise is a traditional symbol of steady progress and longevity, since, according to Japanese folklore, the animal is believed to live as long as ten thousand years. The company’s founding families had a vision that their company would prosper and endure, and they were right. The centuries-old Kikkoman logo—a hexagon, representing the tortoise shell, with the character for “ten thousand” in the center—is one of the world’s oldest brand-marks still in continuous use.
