Pilot is a Japanese pen manufacturer founded in 1918 by Ryosuke Namiki and Masao Wada in Tokyo, Japan, originally as the Namiki Manufacturing Company. Namiki, a former professor at Tokyo Nautical College, set out to produce gold fountain pen nibs domestically. The company opened overseas offices in Boston, London, Singapore, Malaysia, and Shanghai by 1926 and partnered with Alfred Dunhill on maki-e lacquered pens for European markets. Pilot introduced the retractable-nib Capless fountain pen in 1963 and the erasable FriXion gel ink in 2006. Supreme has collaborated with Pilot on a co-branded permanent marker.
