Hey, is the isotonic sports' drink (and brand) "OSHEE" that is mostly sold in European countries, elegible for this page? It sounds really similar to the japanese word oishii (romanization of "おいしい"), meaning "tasty", "delicious". I'm not sure if that was their goal or inspiration for the brand name, so I am reluctant to adding it yet. Also, on such an unpopular page I doubt I will get any responses, but.. 95.169.216.155 (talk) 08:08, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

i think the connection is too tenuous because the spelling doesnt match. i'd like to make a list of these too, .... i saw a heating appliance company near me with an ø in its name even though it is almost certainly locally owned and thus American. it makes perfect sense .... nordic people live in cold climates, so of course they make the best heating appliances.
there could be thousands of tiny companies doing this. but i think an exhaustive list doesnt really help people learn about the topic ... it would be more appropriate for an entertainment website, maybe even a personal website, rather than wikipedia. Soap 15:57, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Brother[edit]

Brother Industries, makers of printers and copiers, is a Japanese company. Theyve been using that name even in Japan since 1962. Could fit in the same category as Roland. Soap 16:01, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
