gaisha, /ˈsoʊni/ SOH-nee, commonly known as Sony and stylized as SONY) is a
Japanese multinational conglomerate corporation headquartered in Kōnan, Minato,
Tokyo.[7] As a major technology company, it operates as one of the world's largest
manufacturers of consumer and professional electronic products, the largest video
game console company and the largest video game publisher. Through Sony
Entertainment Inc, it is one of the largest music companies (largest music
publisher & second largest record label) and the third largest film studio, making it
one of the most comprehensive media companies, being the largest Japanese
media conglomerate by size overtaking the privately held, family-owned Yomiuri
Shimbun Holdings, the largest Japanese media conglomerate by revenue. [8][9][10]
Sony, with its 55 percent market share in the image sensor market, is the largest
manufacturer of image sensors, the second largest camera manufacturer, and is
among the semiconductor sales leaders.[11][12][13] It is the world's largest player in the
premium TV market for a television of at least 55 inches (140 centimeters) with a
price higher than $2,500 as well as second largest TV brand by market share and,
as of 2020, the third largest television manufacturer in the world by annual sales
figures.[14][15][16][17]

プ, Sonī Gurūpu), which comprises Sony Corporation, Sony Semiconductor
Solutions, Sony Entertainment (Sony Pictures, Sony Music), Sony Interactive
Entertainment, Sony Financial Holdings, and others.
The company's slogan is Be Moved. Their former slogans were The One and
Only (1979–1982), It's a Sony (1982–2005), like.no.other (2005–2009)
[18]
 and make.believe (2009–2013).[19]
Sony has a weak tie to the Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group (SMFG) corporate
group, the successor to the Mitsui keiretsu.[20] Sony is listed on the Tokyo Stock
Exchange (in which it is a constituent of the Nikkei 225 and TOPIX Core30 indexes)
with an additional listing in the form of American depositary receipts listed in the New
York Stock Exchange (traded since 1970, making it the oldest Japanese company to
be listed in an American exchange), and was ranked 122nd on the
2020 Fortune Global 500 list.[21]
