I can't identify the lead alpha character in the serial number. It's hidden by the cable and guide. If you're referring to the 'W' stamped below the serial number it's actually a stylized 'CWC', with the lead 'C' being backwards. It's the logo for West Coast Cycle (Supply Company), the American bicycle importer who owned the Nishiki brand.
