The founder I believe was Japanese and I believe the company is Japanese with much of the design work being British based.- Bottom

I did a little searching on the internet....
According to the Rotel site, the company was formed in 1961 by the "elder" Tachikowa and currently run by the son, Bob Tachikowa.
(One slight variation that I did come across was an audio site that listed the company as being founded in 1961 "by a Japanese audiophile" and then adopted by the Tachikowa family in 1979.)
Tachikowa's address is listed as the Rotel offices in Japan but all research and design are driven out of the UK (and mfg out of Hong Kong).
So while Rotel could ceremonially be called a Japanese company, operationally its a UK company.
