The name "Mitsubishi" refers to the three - diamond badge. The combination of the words "Mitsubishi" and Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi means three. Hishiko refers to a diamond corner, which has been used in Japan for a long time to designate a lozenge or diamond-shaped character. The Japanese often bend the "H" sound and the "B" sound when it occurs in the middle of a character. Thus, they "combined, Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi ling.
Mitsubishi is one of the largest companies in Japan. Founded in 1870 by a samurai family, son of Atar Iwasaki. The transformation of Japan into an industrialized society played an important role. Dedicated principle to maritime transportation. Steamship fleet carried banners showing the Mitsubishi triangle or water chestnut. Thus formed Mitsubishi, which means "three diamonds" logo and name. The consortium formed by the company was decentralized.
In 1873 the company was called Mitsubishi Shokai. Under the impulse of its founders, it would become one of the most powerful associations in Japan.
In the late nineteenth century, the company (which alone produces half of Japan's freight costs) began to build three diversified process would end. Mitsubishi before the Second World War produced a variety of warships for the national army, as well as the famous "Zero" fighter. Today, Mitsubishi is still the largest arms manufacturer in Japan. "Kongo class" Aegis destroyers, F-2 fighter jets, type 89 infantry fighting vehicles, etc. are Mitsubishi's main military products are also one of the biggest profit point of the Mitsubishi group.
After Japan's defeat in the war, the original Mitsubishi Corporation was dismembered into three companies. Iwasaki Koyota, who succeeded Iwasaki Yasuhisa as president of Mitsubishi, died of a broken heart. Soon after the outbreak of the Korean War, a large number of U.S. arms orders to Mitsubishi was reborn. In 1964, the three companies were merged to form Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries also began producing automobiles.
The Mitsubishi Group, which today has 115 affiliated companies and branch machines, was founded in October 1870 when Yataro Iwasaki established the Kujyusho Shokai (Kujyu Shokai) in the Tosa Clan, which at the time sold cast-iron "Tensui Buckets". In January 1872, the Kujukyu Shokai was renamed the Mikawa Shokai, and in March of the following year, it was renamed the Mitsubishi Shokai, and the name "Mitsubishi" has been used ever since.
In 1875 (the eighth year of the Meiji era), Mitsubishi Shokai, a postal steamship company, was established and merged with Nagasaki Shipbuilding Works, a subsidiary of Nagasaki Rongtetsusho, which had been established during the Tokugawa shogunate era.
In 1917, Mitsubishi's first minibus was mass-produced in the era of the Mitsubishi Shipyard, and the 35-horsepower, seven-seat Model-A was the first mass-produced automobile in Japan. The first Mitsubishi truck prototypes were developed in 1918, including two three-ton and two four-ton models.
In 1932, the first large bus, the B46, a 30-seat, 100-horsepower bus, was introduced to the market, marking the start of the Mitsubishi bus line.
In 1934, the first four-wheel-drive (4WD) Japanese automobile was completed, the Mitsubishi PX33 sports car (equipped with a diesel engine), which attracted the attention of the world's automobile world.
In 1935, Japan's first pre-combustion diesel-engined BD46 bus was developed.
In 1936, the first mass-produced TD45 diesel-powered truck was launched.
In 1947, the first electric bus, the MB46, was developed.
In 1950, mass production of the first rear-engined, 130-hp, 76-passenger Fuso R1 bus was completed.
In 1951, the T380, an eight-ton truck with revolutionary suspension, was launched, a typical design that has had a profound impact on today's heavy truck range.
In 1967 the T810, an eight-ton truck with a top speed of 115 km/h, was launched.
1970 was a time of bloodshed for Mitsubishi Motors, as "Mitsubishi Automotive Industries, Ltd." was formally established with investments from Mitsubishi Automotive Sales Corporation, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and Chrysler Automotive Corporation of the U.S.A.
1970 was a time of bloodshed for Mitsubishi Motors, as Mitsubishi Automotive Industries, Ltd. was formally established.
In 1975, Mitsubishi Auto pioneered the first silent anti-vibration differential axle with advanced technology, which drove a reverse crankshaft through two double-rotating differential axles to ensure stable and quiet driving.
The first Japanese touring car, the Galant, was powered by a turbocharged diesel engine, the Astron 2300, in 1980.
The first full production line of turbocharged engines was established in 1982, with fully turbocharged models such as the Golt, Lancer, Galant, Sapporo and Starion.
The Galant was the first car to be built in Japan, and was the first to be built in the United States, and was the first to be built in the United States.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), Japan's largest military manufacturer. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Japan's largest military producer, received 280 billion yen in military orders from the Defense Agency in 2003, ranking first among all military companies. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries produces equipment, such as F-2 and F-15J fighters, as well as 90 tanks, in the Air Self-Defense Force and the Ground Self-Defense Force have played a central role in the Maritime Self-Defense Force, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has built almost half of the submarines, and one-third of the destroyers. Its position in Japan's military industry is evident.
History and overview
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries traces its roots back to the Meiji Restoration, when Yataro Iwasaki, the founder of Mitsubishi, leased the Nagasaki Shipbuilding Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce from the government in 1884, naming it the Nagasaki Shipbuilding Institute, which evolved into Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Corporation. By 1934, the company's name was changed to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. as the company's business had expanded to include heavy machinery, aircraft, and railroad cars.
After the end of the Second World War, due to the policy of the U.S. occupation authorities to dismantle the zaibatsu, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was divided into three companies in 1950, including West Japan Heavy Industries, Central Nippon Heavy Industries, and East Nippon Heavy Industries. However, following changes in U.S. policy and Japanese domestic politics, the three companies were merged in 1964, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. was reestablished to the present day. During this period, the automobile division of MHI became independent as "Mitsubishi Automotive Industries, Ltd." in 1970.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is engaged in the fields of machinery, shipbuilding, aerospace, atomic energy, electric power, transportation, etc. As of April 1, 2004, it had a registered capital of 265.6 billion yen and 34,306 employees. It has nine overseas offices or representative offices, nine branch offices, six research institutes, and nine business locations. Annual order volume was 215.92 billion yen (April 1, 2003 to March 31, 2004), and annual sales were 19,401 billion yen (as of the same date). In terms of the ratio of divisional sales to total sales, the Shipbuilding & Marine Division accounted for 8%, the Nuclear Energy Division 23%, the Machinery & Steel Construction Division 20%, the Aerospace & Aviation Division 17%, the Vehicles, Machine Tools & Other Industries Division 29%, and Other Industries 3%.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is a member of the Mitsubishi Zaibatsu. Today's Japanese Zaibatsu are in the form of the so-called keiretsu (pronounced "series" in the Japanese kanji). The Mitsubishi series of companies are all members of the Mitsubishi Group's "Golden Obsidian Society" (meaning the Friday Club), and include (for the sake of consistency, this article uses their names in Japanese kanji or their original names in English):
Asahi Glass (a glass and chemical company), Kirin Brewery, Nippon Oil, Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Nikon Corporation, Tokyo Mitsubishi Bank, and Nichicon Corporation. Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Nikon Camera, Nippon Yusen, P.S. Mitsubishi (in the construction industry), Mitsubishi Aluminum, Mitsubishi Chemical, Mitsubishi Chemical, Mitsubishi Chemical, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical, Mitsubishi Jisho (in the real estate industry), Mitsubishi Automotive, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Plastics, Mitsubishi Corporation, Mitsubishi Trust and Banking, Mitsubishi Shinko, Mitsubishi Steel, Mitsubishi Paper, Mitsubishi Corporation, Mitsubishi Steel, Mitsubishi Corporation, and Mitsubishi Corporation. Mitsubishi Steel, Mitsubishi Paper, Mitsubishi Warehouse, Mitsubishi Research Institute, Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Cable Industries, Mitsubishi Fuso Bus, Mitsubishi Materials, Mitsubishi Rayon, Mitsubishi Rayon, Mitsubishi Materials, Mitsubishi Rayon, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Rayon"), Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance.
Companies in the same series are able to cooperate more closely with each other, and each company can provide other sister companies with good products or lower prices in their own areas of responsibility. For example, by the Japan Post is the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries shipbuilding sector of the order of the big, Mitsubishi Electric for the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to provide electromechanical products, Mitsubishi Steel, Mitsubishi copper, Mitsubishi Aluminum and Mitsubishi Materials and other companies, can be Mitsubishi's ships and aerospace sector to provide reliable raw materials. Companies such as the Bank of Mitsubishi and Tokio Marine can provide loans and special insurance services (such as space launch insurance). Optics, handled by Nikon, and new materials, handled by Mitsubishi Plastics, are essential components for high-tech weapons.
The Mitsubishi Group also has a number of affiliated companies and social organizations as peripherals, including:
"IP Talk" Group (engaged in the telephone card business), Atami Yangwadong (a memorial hall for Iwasaki's Koyota), MT Insurance Services Ltd, Sekito-kaku (a hotel that utilizes the former residence of the Iwasaki family) Ltd., Koiwai Farmers and Ranchers, Shonan Suburban Club, Shizukado Bunko Museum of Art, Sogo Group (a property management company that mainly caters to the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi), Dai Nippon Paint, Dia Foundation for Research on Ageing Societies, Diamond Family Club (a matchmaking organization co-financed by 29 companies in the Kinko's Club*** that mainly caters to in-house services of the group), Chitose Kogyo, Toyo Bunka, Marunouchi Yorozu ( (a real estate brokerage and advertising agency), Mitsubishi Kinko Club (a fellowship of the chairmen and general managers of the 29 Mitsubishi companies), Mitsubishi Club, Mitsubishi Institute of Economic Research, Mitsubishi Broadband Newspaper Committee, Mitsubishi Foundation, Mitsubishi CC Research Institute (an IT industry research organization), Mitsubishi Community Trademarks Committee, Mitsubishi Institute of Marketing, Mitsubishi Yokoho-kai (a club that specializes in sports and health), LEOC Japan (a club that specializes in real estate brokerage and advertisements), Mitsubishi Kinko Club (a club that specializes in sports and health). ), LEOC Japan (a company engaged in medical care and company cafeteria management).
It can be seen that through the collaboration and division of labor of the large group, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is able to obtain a wide range of support such as capital, technology, raw materials, upstream products, financial services, sales, and so on, from sister companies and organizations. This is very favorable to the development of the enterprise.
The following is an introduction to the military-related divisions of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries:
Ship-Ocean Business Division
The shipbuilding industry is the earliest division of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to get its start. Until now, of the four divisions under this division, three shipyards, including Nagasaki, Kobe and Shimonoseki, build military products.
Nagasaki Shipyard: Nagasaki Shipyard during World War II had built "Musashi" battleship, but also the Self-Defense Forces is the main destroyer manufacturer, has built the Taijutsu wind class, the flag wind class, hazelnut class, Asahi class, Kongo class, Takanobu class and many other types of ships. The latest of these is the No. 4 Takanobo-class destroyer, the Ri (さざなみ（sazanami）, which was commissioned in February 2005 at the Nagasaki Shipyard.
Nagasaki Shipyard consists of the Headquarters, Kayaki Factory, Komachi Factory and Isahaya Factory. It has a total land area of 242,012,727 square meters (2004 figures below), a floor area of 929,976 square meters, and a workforce of 6,299. The plant is a major surface ship construction site for the Maritime Self-Defense Force (MSDF). As of April 2004, it had built 105 ships of 522,000 displacement tons and repaired 266 ships of 858,000 displacement tons for the MSDF.
