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”.
