While it was Walt Disney who truly created the Disney Theme Parks, over in Tokyo Disneyland there is someone else who helped to bring the creation to the people of Japan.

Founder

Masatomo Takahashi is a Disney Legend, the founder of the Oriental Land Company and credited for bringing "Disneyland to the children of Japan". This window is a truly beautiful dedication to the man who's mission and vision of creating a Disney theme park that all of Japan could enjoy was done so in such a way that it is somewhere the country can be proud of.

OLC signed contracts in 1979 with Disney, to build an American theme park on land the OLC held in Tokyo. In 1983 the dream came true, and Tokyo Disneyland was born.
