It was formed in 2002 by the merger of NKK (日本鋼管株式会社 Nihon Kōkan Kabushiki-gaisha?) and Kawasaki Steel Corporation (川崎製鉄株式会社 Kawasaki Seitetsu Kabushiki-gaisha?). At the time, NKK Corporation was Japan's second largest steelmaker and Kawasaki Steel was the third largest steelmaker. Both companies were major military vessel manufacturers during World War II.
