Yatabe was an engineering professor whose company made phthalic anhydride used in the paint for cars and aeroplanes during the war. With his continuous research, guts and strong faith, he overcame many challenges to grow his company while helping his staff to develop their talents. Yatabe was modelled after the founder of Nisshoku i.e. the late Yatagai Taizo. The story will follow Yatabe Taizo's life before and after WWII as he grew his small business Okita Gosei Kagaku Kogyo in a small town of Osaka to become the internationally-renowned Nisshoku Kagaku Kogyo.
