Tokushichi Nomura II (野村 徳七 二代, August 7, 1878 – January 15, 1945) was a Japanese businessman, investor and politician.

[1] Nomura was accepted into Osaka School of Commerce in 1891, but gave up proceeding beyond preparatory courses after contracting pneumonia in 1895.

The First Sino-Japanese War had a severe impact on the securities market, and Nomura gave up his studies to take over the family business in 1897.

[1] Nomura made his first fortune in 1915, investing in Fukushima Boseki, a textile company that was widely believed to be headed for bankruptcy.

After seeing the books, he went to the floor of the Osaka exchange and began quietly buying Fukushima Boseki's shares at 20 yen.
