Think both Toshiba and Matsushita had tube making plants in Japan.

IIRC, Hitachi too. That many Matsushita made tubes are highly regarded is not at all surprising. Matsushita bought tooling from Mullard.

I might as well pile on in that I own tubes from those 3 plants Hitachi, Toshiba and Matsushita. I wouldn't be surprised if there were others like Nippon Electric know now as NEC, in tube's "Heyday".
( BTW What was tube's Heyday? I will guess 1925 to 1969- don't mean to threadjack- sorry)
My guess would be it ended around 1960. I was born late 1954, and transistor radios were available and affordable by the time I was about 6. Could been a few years earlier. I had 1955 Chevy that had tubes in the radio head, and a tube amp by the glove box. My 1964 Skylark had a solid state radio.
I'm sure there is a history of tubes online somewhere.
