Masayoshi Son
According to [[Eiji Oshita]]'s "Masayoshi Son: The Young Lion of Entrepreneurship," [[Masayoshi Son]], who had been working hard for some time to create an industry structure that would make his own business, software distribution, profitable, was agitated that TRON would cause Japanese industry to fall behind global standards and be left behind by the rest of the world. [[Masayoshi Son]], who had been working hard to set up the industry so that it could profit from TRON, was about to "lay the rails for the destruction of TRON" with [[Yuji Tanahashi]] (then Director General of the Machinery and Information Industry Bureau) and Ryozo Hayashi (then Director of the Information Processing Promotion Division), who were introduced by [[Akio Morita]]. The Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) stopped the introduction of TRON into schools. The book's headline reads "Stopping the spread of TRON at the water's edge".
