Or National which is almost all gone today. Or rather rebranded to Panasonic. Before the early 2000s the company was selling most of their products under National brand in Japan. They've introduced Panasonic to sell speakers abroad because, as it turned out, the National name was not available. The reception was so good over the years that the National brand has been discontinued and all the products are called Panasonic now.

I've learned only today, while double checking the facts, that there is `panasonic` TLD.

Interesting, I though National and Panasonic were just brand names of Matsushita, but the corporation was renamed to Panasonic in 2008. See, that's how old I am :)
