Origin of the Company Name “Rock Field”
 
The name “Rock Field” is an English translation of the two characters of the family name of the founder and current president and CEO of the company, Kozo Iwata: “iwa” means “rock” and “ta” means “field.” The young Iwata thought of the name during travels to the U.S., when he was struck by the similarity of the sound to the industrial giant name “Rockefeller.”
