It seems like you're referring to a well-known story in the Japanese optical industry. 😊
To summarize, Hoya was indeed a medical equipment subsidiary of Pentax (a renowned optics company), and it's true that Pentax wanted to acquire Hoya. However, what's often not mentioned is that the people behind the takeover were actually Hoya's own executives and directors, not outsiders trying to buy out Pentax.
In other words, the acquisition was essentially an internal deal where Hoya's own leadership took control of the company, effectively becoming the new owners. This might have raised eyebrows at the time, given the close ties between the two companies in the optical industry. 🕶️
I hope that clears up any misconceptions! 😊
