Daisuke Inoue, born on May 10, 1940, is a Japanese businessman best known for inventing the karaoke machine. As a musician in his youth, he was employed to support businesspeople who wanted to sing in bars, leading to his invention of the karaoke machine as a means for them to sing without direct coverage. He did not patent the machine, missing out on direct profits, but continued to work in the industry it created, even patenting an insecticide for karaoke devices. Time magazine named him one of the 'Most Influential Asians of the Century' in 1999.
