==History==

===1935 to 2000===
Fujitsu was established on June 20, 1935, which makes it one of the oldest operating IT companies after [[IBM]] and before [[Hewlett-Packard]],<ref>{{Cite web |title=History of Fujitsu – Fujitsu Global |url=http://www.fujitsu.com/global/about/profile/history/ |website=fujitsu.com |access-date=August 8, 2008 |archive-date=March 15, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140315101840/http://www.fujitsu.com/global/about/profile/history/ |url-status=live }}</ref> under the name {{nihongo|Fuji Telecommunications Equipment Manufacturing| 富士電気通信機器製造|Fuji Denki Tsūshin Kiki Seizō}}, as a spin-off of the [[Fuji Electric|Fuji Electric Company]], itself a joint venture between the [[Furukawa Group|Furukawa Electric Company]] and the German conglomerate [[Siemens]] which had been founded in 1923. Despite its connections to the [[Furukawa Group|Furukawa]] [[zaibatsu]], Fujitsu escaped the Allied [[occupation of Japan]] after the Second World War mostly unscathed.

In 1955, Fujitsu founded [[Kawasaki Frontale]] as a company [[association football|football]] club; Kawasaki Frontale has been a [[J. League]] football club since 1999. In 1967, the company's name was officially changed to the contraction {{nihongo||富士通|Fujitsū}}. Since 1985, the company also fields a company [[American football]] team, the [[Fujitsu Frontiers]],<ref>{{Cite web |title=フロンティアーズ : 富士通 |url=http://sports.jp.fujitsu.com/frontiers/ |website=sports.jp.fujitsu.com |access-date=December 3, 2015 |archive-date=December 10, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151210035235/http://sports.jp.fujitsu.com/frontiers/ |url-status=live }}</ref> who play in the corporate [[X-League (Japan)|X-League]], appeared in 7 [[Japan X Bowl]]s, winning two, and won two [[Rice Bowl]]s.

In 1971, Fujitsu signed an [[Original equipment manufacturer|OEM]] agreement with the Canadian company [[Consolidated Computers]] Limited (CCL) to distribute CCL's data entry product, Key-Edit. Fujitsu joined both [[International Computers Limited]] (ICL) which earlier began marketing Key-Edit in the British Commonwealth of countries as well as in both western and eastern Europe; and CCL's direct marketing staff in Canada, USA, London (UK) and Frankfurt. Mers Kutt, inventor of Key-Edit and founder of CCL, was the common thread that led to Fujitsu's later association with ICL and [[Gene Amdahl]].

In 1986, Fujitsu and [[The Queen's University of Belfast]] business incubation unit (QUBIS Ltd) established a joint venture called [[Kainos]], a privately held software company based in [[Belfast]], Northern Ireland.<ref>{{Cite news |title=History of Fujitsu spin out company |url=http://www.qubis.co.uk/portfolio/case-studies/3/kainos |access-date=June 15, 2013 |archive-date=September 24, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190924165735/http://www.qubis.co.uk/portfolio/case-studies/3/kainos |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=1996–2002 |title=Fujitsu joint venture with QUBIS |url=http://www.ftel.co.uk/news/03_02_00.html |access-date=June 15, 2013 |archive-date=October 29, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201029195116/http://www.ftel.co.uk/news/03_02_00.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

==Advertising==
The old slogan ''"The possibilities are infinite"'' can be found below the company's logo on major advertisements and ties in with the small logo above the letters J and I of the word Fujitsu. This smaller logo represents the symbol for [[infinity]]. As of April 2010, Fujitsu is in the process of rolling out a new slogan focused on entering into partnerships with its customers and retiring the "possibilities are infinite" [[tagline]]. The new slogan is "shaping tomorrow with you".<ref>{{Cite web |title=FUJITSU Japan |url=http://jp.fujitsu.com/ |publisher=Fujitsu |access-date=June 17, 2010 |archive-date=December 17, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201217032653/http://jp.fujitsu.com/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Horizon scandal==
{{main|British Post Office scandal}}
Fujitsu designed, developed and operated the [[Post Office Horizon IT|Horizon IT system]] which was at the centre of the legal dispute between the [[Post Office Limited|UK Post Office]] and its sub-postmasters. The case, still [[Settlement (litigation)#England and Wales|unsettled]], found that the IT system was unreliable and that faults in the system caused discrepancies in branch accounts which were not the responsibility of the postmasters themselves. [[Peter Fraser (judge)|Mr Justice Fraser]], the judge hearing the case, noted that Fujitsu had given "wholly unsatisfactory evidence" and there had been a "lack of accuracy on the part of Fujitsu witnesses in their evidence".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Slingo |first=Jemma |title=Post Office 'attacked and disparaged' sub postmasters, judge finds |url=https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/news/post-office-attacked-and-disparaged-sub-postmasters-judge-finds/5102542.article |access-date=January 10, 2020 |website=Law Gazette |archive-date=January 22, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230122093545/https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/news/post-office-attacked-and-disparaged-sub-postmasters-judge-finds/5102542.article |url-status=live }}</ref> Following his concerns, Fraser sent a file to the [[Director of Public Prosecutions]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Slingo |first=Jemma |title=Post Office IT contractor faces prosecution after judge's 'grave concerns' about evidence |url=https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/news/post-office-it-contractor-faces-prosecution-after-judges-grave-concerns-about-evidence/5102540.article |access-date=January 10, 2020 |website=Law Gazette |archive-date=January 13, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200113015324/https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/news/post-office-it-contractor-faces-prosecution-after-judges-grave-concerns-about-evidence/5102540.article |url-status=live }}</ref>

Fujitsu was also found to have pressured the UK government to sign off the controversial and faulty IT system that, as a result of its faulty operation, resulted in numerous UK postmasters and sub-postmasters being accused falsely, and subsequently convicted of theft, false accounting and fraud, with consequences including imprisonment and monetary reparations. Of the hundreds of people affected, as of January 2024 only around 1 in 9 of those convicted have had their convictions overturned, whereas others have died due to the length of time that has elapsed, or have taken their own lives in the wake of their [[wrongful convictions]]. Although there has been some media coverage of organised legal appeals by groups of those affected, the matter has recently gained enhanced attention by mainstream media and the wider public as a whole, and is currently being acted upon by authorities in an attempt to accelerate and automate the clearing of the names of all those wrongly convicted, who until now were required to launch their own legal appeals to have their names cleared.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Fujitsu put pressure on UK government to sign off troubled Horizon project, public inquiry hears {{!}} Computer Weekly |url=https://www.computerweekly.com/feature/Fujitsu-put-pressure-on-UK-government-to-sign-off-troubled-Horizon-project-public-inquiry-hears |access-date=2024-01-05 |website=ComputerWeekly.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/jan/08/ministers-clear-names-victims-post-office-horizon-accounting-it-scandal | title=Ministers scramble to clear names of victims of Post Office Horizon scandal | newspaper=The Guardian | date=January 8, 2024 | last1=Crerar | first1=Pippa }}</ref>
