The son of a poor carpenter is referred to as the King of Japanese Inventors who invented numerous weaving devices. His most famous invention was the automatic power loom in which he implemented the principle of Jidoka (autonomous automation).

He developed the concept of 5 Whys: When a problem occurs, ask why five times to try to find the source of the problem, then put into place something to prevent the problem from reoccuring. This concept is used today as part of applying Six Sigma methodologies to solve problems, improve quality, and reduce costs.
