The Zebra G nib is manufactured by Zebra Pen Corporation, a manufacturer of writing instruments whose trademark was adopted in 1914 by Mr. Ishikawa. The story of how Zebra acquired their name is a unique one: Ishikawa wanted a name that was both memorable and easily understood internationally, so he flipped through an English/Japanese dictionary from the back, and stopped at the word "zebra." After researching the animal, Ishikawa was please with its gentleness and strong familial instinct, two qualities that were personally important to him. He was also drawn to the zebra's markings, which reminded him of calligraphic strokes. Today, Zebra Pen Co. sells a variety of lettering and writing tools, from ballpoint pens to mechanical pencils and everything in-between.
