Zebra Pen Corporation was founded in New York in August 1982 as an independent corporation wholly owned by Zebra Co. Ltd, headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.

It is said that Mr. Ishikawa, the founder of Zebra, was looking for a name that would be memorable and appropriate for their export business to other countries. He took an English-Japanese dictionary and, opening it Japanese-style backwards, started with the words for "Z." He stopped at "Zebra."

After further research, Mr. Ishikawa discovered that zebras are gentle animals with a strong herd instinct. This was an important attribute because he wanted to build a company where employees and customers would be part of a family culture. The fact that the zebra looks like it is decorated with large calligraphic pen strokes also influenced the visual effect he was looking for.

Zebra offers a wide line of writing instruments, including pens, highlighters, mechanical pencils, gel pens and concealers. It guarantees top quality, satisfaction and superior writing performance.
