Lotte R&D Center[edit] Korea R&D Center : 23,4-ga, Yangpyeong-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, South Korea Japan R&D Center : Saitama, Japan History[edit] Lotte's first company was founded in June 1948 in Tokyo, Japan by a Japanese businessman of Korean descent, known as Shin Kyuk-Ho in Korean, or Shigemitsu Takeo ( ?) in Japanese, two years after graduating from Waseda Jitsugyo high School (). Originally called Lotte Co., Ltd, the company has grown from selling chewing gum to children in post-war Japan to becoming a major multinational corporation. Name[edit] The source of the company's name is neither Korean nor Japanese, but German. Shin was impressed with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther (1774) and named his newly founded company Lotte after the character Charlotte[citation needed] in the novel ("Charlotte" is also the name of a new brand of deluxe movie theatres run by Lotte). Lotte's current marketing slogan in Japan is "The sweetheart of your mouth, Lotte" (, Okuchi no koibito, Rotte?).
