History
Being a student, Taro Takahashi, as all young people, went to the Kitano Tenmangu temple, North Kyoto, to pray for the successful passing of his qualifying exams, and promised in his note addressed to Tenjin, the god of enlightenment and literature, to make something useful for people in his honour. He passed his exams successfully and 12 years later in memory of this story KITANO was founded under the auspices of the revered Tenjin.
The energetic engineer Taro Takahashi had been working at a huge factory producing refrigerating appliances for 10 years in Osaka, dreaming of creating of his own enterprise. Taro Takahashi wished to bring the ideas of innovation, independence, quality and economy, which are typical for his hometown, into his air conditioners. Therefore, in 1982 Taro Takahashi founded KITANO in Osaka. Now it is still considered a young (from Japanese point of view) but large company in the field of development and production of HVAC equipment.
From the very beginning Takahashi was particularly focused on air conditioning systems. Due to its focused specialization the company managed to achieve significant results in a short period. From a small and unknown company it has turned into a brand with worldwide reputation. Current KITANO president Taro Takahashi is still implementing the ideas of enlightenment and combination of the experience from abroad with Japanese traditions and national spirit.
These ideas have formed the cornerstone of KITANO philosophy: “The indisputable Japanese quality of HVAC systems at economically advantageous price”.

Being a student, Taro Takahashi, as all young people, went to the Kitano Tenmangu temple in the North of Kioto in order to pray for the successful completion of his qualifying examinations, and promised in his note addressed to Kitano Tenjin to make something useful for the people in his honour. The examinations had been passed successfully, and after 12 years, in the memory of this event, the Kitano Company was founded under the protection of honoured Tenjin. The current president of the Kitano Company, Taro Takahashi, not only implements the ideas of the Enlightenment, a combination of the knowledge brought from abroad, in the broadest sense of the word, with the national spirit and traditions of Japan, but also being an experienced businessman uses the cult of Kitano Tenji in Japan and China as the patron of learning and science, the giver of success in any business.
