Didn't find an inventor. Apparently, the practice of binding the ends of a strap dates back to at least Shakespeare's time (see article below), so I don't know if you'll be able to identify anyone as the sole inventor.\n\nHere's the Wikipedia article:\n\nAn aglet or aiglet is the little plastic or metal cladding on the end of shoelaces that keeps the twine from unraveling. The word comes from the latin word acus which means needle. In times past, aglets were usually made of metal though some were glass or stone. Many were highly ornamental, and made of precious metals such as silver. Before the invention of buttons, they were used on the ends of ribbons to fasten clothing together. Sometimes they would be formed into small figures. Shakespeare calls this type of figure an "aglet baby" in The Taming of the Shrew. Purely decorative metal ornaments called aigullette are sometimes features of modern military dress uniforms. \n\nIn modern times an aglet is a frequently used example of a common object whose name is relatively unknown. Perhaps due to this, they are occasionally referenced in popular culture. According to the paranoiac superhero The Question in Justice League Unlimited, their true purpose is sinister. According to characters from Achewood, aglets are a key ingredient in a drug called "Fool's Meth."

My brother made a "sneaker beeper" on time... it was more of a concept invention though\nbasically, it was a little bell you put in a shoe that was controlled by a remote... so if you lost your shoe, you could push the button the remote and go find it\nkind of like a telephone pager

I don't know the Japanese word for them, but I've always heard them called parasols (they make them out of lace or linen as well).  If you are referring to the ones that go in drinks, you could still call them parasols, as in "garnished with a tiny parasol."  :)
