History
Taiyo Yuden was established by Hikohachi Sato on March 23, 1950 in Suginami-ku, Tokyo.
''That's'' branded Audio tape was introduced to the market in 1982.[3]
Since 1985, Taiyo Yuden annually published ''Needs & Seeds'' (Taiyo Yuden Technical Report, ISSN 0911-5439).[4]
In October 1988, the first CD-R was made by Taiyo Yuden and presented to the public under the brand name ''That's CD-R'', however development already began as early as in summer 1985.
In 1989, START Lab Inc. was founded as a joint venture between Sony Corporation and Taiyo Yuden Co., Ltd. for the CD-R recording media business in Japan.
Taiyo Yuden introduced That's Double Density CD-R with 1.3 GB storage space in 2000.[5]
Effective March 1, 2006, the power supply factory in Mexico (formerly Taiyo Yuden de Mexico) was sold to Tamura Corporation.
The acquisition of Shoei Electronics Co., Ltd., formerly a subsidiary of Shoei Co., Ltd., took place March 1, 2007.[6]

Recording media
Taiyo Yuden discs are considered one of the best discs on the market according to Digital Faq. Digital Faq rates TY discs with a 95-100% reliability rating. Other high quality discs include discs with Sony, MCC (Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation/Verbatim Corporation) and Maxell media code discs. [8]
Taiyo Yuden's cakeboxes usually have a special form and a printed shrinkwrap foil (unlike other manufacturers using transparent shrinkwrap and printed paper cylinder). The inner rings of the CD-R products are frosted.
Taiyo Yuden branded products are not common outside of Japan (where Taiyo Yuden media has a market share of about 60%) but unbranded CDs and DVDs are available from some online retailers. Rebranded Taiyo Yuden media can be found under Fujifilm, Fusion, Maxell, Miflop, Panasonic, Plextor, Sony, TDK and Verbatim Corporation brands [2]. In Japan, Korea and Greece, Taiyo Yuden is distributing its own brand "'That's'".

Infosmart of Hong Kong, Optodisc of Taiwan and other manufacturers from Hong Kong, Macau and China have been making discs which illegitimately use Taiyo Yuden's mediacodes and are prone to degradation and data loss. If those discs do not have one of these hub codes, they are most likely fakes and should not be used.
Taiyo Yuden has also developed the Autostrategy technology, a learning mode for DVD burners, for Plextor.
