Another key person not named here yet is Masahiro Matsui, head of Tokai's guitar production and designer of the Hummingbird electric. That's unfortunately all the anglophone internet has to offer about Mr. Matsui. The Japanese internet has at least the happy information that Mr. Matsui is still making (pretty stunning!) guitars in his small custom shop in Hamamatsu!

(Unfortunately these second hand guitars offered in shops (1) (2) is all I can find, it seems Mr. Matsui doesn't have a website.)
