'''Daisuke Inoue''' (b. Osaka 1940) is the man who invented the [[karaoke]] machine in 1971.
::''“I’m not an inventor,” says the 65-year-old in his small [[Osaka]] office, where the first version of the karaoke machine sits in a corner. “I simply put things that already exist together, which is completely different. I took a car stereo, a coin box and a small amp to make the karaoke. Who would even consider patenting something like that?”'' (The Independent)
In 2004 [[Harvard]] University awarded him the [[Ig Nobel Prize]] “for inventing karaoke”. He celebrated by calling himself, “''the last samurai''”.
