Abba had a 7.16% holding of Taito stock as late as September 30, 1999, while Rita had an 8.50% holding and Asya had a 2.13% holding as late as March 31, 2005. After Asya passed away on December 21, 2013, it was discovered that about 10 billion yen in inheritance taxes for overseas property was not paid.
Kogan died during a business trip in Los Angeles in February 1984. After his passing, his son, Abraham "Abba" Kogan, became Taito's chairman and Akio Nakanishi became its president.
Kogan established the Taito Trading Company on August 24, 1953, and it eventually became Taito Corporation. The company started out importing and distributing vending machines and then jukeboxes before evolving to manufacture their own.
Michael Kogan's founded his first business in 1944 in Shanghai - Taitung. Taitung's business dealings included natural hair wigs, floor coverings, and hog bristles. Kogan closed Taitung in 1950 after the Communist takeover of China and started his second business in Japan shortly after - a clothing distributor named Taito Yoko. The constant loss of products and negligent employees caused Taito Yoko to struggle financially, and it was eventually abolished.
Kogan married Asya Kachanovsky (b. July 6, 1924) and had two children with her - a son named Abraham ("Abba") (b. January 1947) and a daughter named Rita (b. June 1949). The two stayed married until Michael's death. Asya lived in Tokyo, Abba lives in Monaco, and Rita lived in Southern California and was married to Richard Edlund, founder of Boss Film Studios and an Academy Award-winning Visual Effects Supervisor until her death in 2019.
