TOSBAC Kanji System 15

This was Japan's first kanji (Chinese character) office computer, marketed by Toshiba in 1978. There were three models (the Model 10, 20 and 30) which were based on the TOSBAC System 15. These models had enhanced kanji capabilities while inheriting the model system of the System 15. There were differences in the kanji handled by these models. The Model 10 could handle JIS C 6226 (hereafter called "JIS Kanji") Level 1 (approx. 3,300 characters); the Model 20 could handle JIS Kanji Level 1 and 2 (approx. 6,600 characters); and the Model 30 could handle 11,000 characters, including JIS Kanji Level 1 and Level 2. From the beginning, the TOSBAC Kanji System 15 supported 24x24dot fonts for both print and display, and with the Model 20 and 30, it was possible to print and display kanji up to Level 2.
