Shigetaka Kurita created the first emoji in 1999 while working for NTT DoCoMo, a Japanese mobile communications company. He aimed to enhance electronic communication by adding a visual element that could convey emotions and information more effectively than text alone. The original set of 176 emojis was designed to simplify communication and help express feelings in a way that words sometimes couldn't capture, ultimately leading to the widespread adoption of emojis in digital communication worldwide.
