mitsubishi zaibatsu Q&A Review
What are the four major Japanese auto makers?
It's more like 8 major Japanese auto makers. If you're only talking about passenger cars, the list looks something like the following (largest to smallest, by 2012 production numbers, according to Wikipedia): Toyota: Largest by far. Subsidiaries include Lexus & Scion Nissan: Subsidiaries include Infiniti, Datsun (2013 relaunch in emerging markets) Honda: Subsidiaries include Acura Suzuki Mazda Daihatsu: Roughly 52% owned by Toyota Subaru: Owned by Fuji Heavy Industries, of which Toyota owns approximately 25% Mitsubishi Motors: I only add on the "Motors" here to differentiate that these guys are in no way, shape or form owned by any other Mitsubishi branded company (like the one I work for). The Mitsubishi zaibatsu was broken up by MacArthur after WWII, so while they all may share a common history & similar logos, Mitsubishi Motors, Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Corp., Mitsubishi Heavy Industries & Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ Bank are all separate companies.
The Mitsubishi you see on big ships and equipment, is it the same as the car company with the same name?
“The Mitsubishi Group is a group of autonomous Japanese multinational companies in a variety of industries. It is historically descended from the Mitsubishi zaibatsu, a unified company ...” Mitsubishi started out as a shipping firm company in 1870 and built Japan’s first car, the Model A in 1917. The company was disbanded after WWII but the zaibatsu reformed in the 1950’s. Mitsubishi is the largest bank in Japan and built aircraft including the famous WWII fighter, the A6M Zero.

Is there a company in Japan that produces pencils?
There are 2 company both of which are highly regarded by the both students and artist. Personally I am fan of Tombow, but I also like Mitsubishi Pencil. Mitsubishi Pencil is not related to Mitsubishi Zaibatsu. But it has its trademark Mitsubishi older than Mitsubishi group thus keep using Mitsubishi name for long time. I like their softer lead pencil. While I like Tombow better on harder lead pencil.
Is 財閥 a Chinese word?
It is a Japanese term “zaibatsu”, which was coined in the early 20th century to refer to the leading Japanese company groups (Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, Toyoda (now Toyota), etc), which were the pillars of the Japanese economy up until the 1980s. Because Japanese writing is partially based on Chinese characters, it uses two Chinese characters, which completely make sense in Chinese. As a result, the Chinese re-adopted the Japanese term (with Chinese pronunciation, of course), back into Chinese.
How did Mitsubishi survive the war and disarment of Japan?
If we discuss this topic seriously it will be a full blown article, so I will cut to the chase. Mitsubishi is not the only weapon manufacture at the time, so was Subaru and a few others. Of course, Mitsubishi’s weapons department was shutdown as part of dis-arment, but as of today Mitsubishi delivers tank and submarines to SDF. Mitsubishi was/is a “,Zaibatsu,” an group entity with holding capital in a closed loop at almost every sector of business back then, they were not just making Zero fighters but were also making daily goods as well, not to mention they had holdings of many capitals and banks all over Japan. There are a few other Zaibatsu that still stands strong today in Japan. (Mitsubishi is technically quite new as a Zaibatsu and its game.) Zaibatsu was striped down or broken apart lead by the GHQ, but could not be totally whipped out. Influence towards Japan Economy at the time they must had was too strong. If you want to know more on this topic, google “GHQ+Zaibatsu” and you should get the picture. Hope this helps!
What could the Japanese government have done to prevent fascism in WW2?
Japan was never a “Fascist” state (= state-controlled totalitarian non-Marxist socialist economy in a non-liberal police state), but rather, a thoroughly militarized plutocracy,. There are very few historical instances where large conglomerates and corporations had had their own parties in the Parliament! To understand the Japanese situation we must first understand the concept of ,Zaibatsu., A ,zaibatsu, (plural: zaibatsu) is roughly a “vertically organized conglomerate of trusts” - yes, a market disturbance, but a very efficient one. Several of the zaibatsu had ,their own political parties, and representatives in the Japanese Diet (parliament). The zaibatsu controlled not only the economy, but also the politics and the public life of Japan. The Japanese managed to create the ,Military–industrial complex, long before Eisenhower warned the US people of one. Actually so thoroughly that Mitsubishi was the zaibatsu of the Navy and Nakajima of that of the Army. The military and zaibatsu were very much entwined with each other, and literally fed each other. Add there a ,very, collectivist culture and legacy of the Feudal state which lasted until 1860s, and the legacy of astonishing military successes against two vast empires (China and Russia), and you have a thoroughly militarized Plutocracy with aspirations of an empire and resolving things with violence. Japan never really became Fascist. The economy was never collectivized nor put under state leash, and while the Kempeitai was not your nice neighbourgood copper, life in Japan for the ordinary farmer or worker could be fairly free (in the sense of free in Oriental cultural sphere). But Japan provides a good example on what a military-industrial complex and uncontrolled Plutorcracy can manage to make up.
Was Toyota a zaibatsu?
It doesn’t look like it. Wikipedia’s list of zaibatsu, doesn’t include any primary suspects for the ,zaibatsu, that Toyota would have come from. Toyota is sometimes apparently included in ,the keiretsu of Tokai Bank / Toyota,, but there is no apparent direct ancestor of that as there was with, say, Mitsubishi. Toyota was founded, in the 1930s, after many of the ,zaibatsu ,had already been established.
What are the challenges for a gaijin to work in a Japanese corporation in Japan?
While I did not thoroughly enjoy the book, first-person accounts are always informative. Here is a book that I have read about a gaijin in a hard-core zaibatsu corporation: The Blue-Eyed Salaryman: From World Traveller to Lifer at Mitsubishi: Niall Murtagh: 9781861977892: Amazon.com: Books
Did post war Japan's economy rebuild from scratch after devastating destruction or did it retain the companies that previously dominated the economy?
The conglomerate companies known as ,Zaibatsu, ,which dominated pre-WWII Japan, remained mostly intact due to most of their revenue being war contracts. American General MacArthur ordered the dissolution of the Zaibatsu as part of his occupation policies, but he only had enough time to truly dissolve the top four (Sumitomo, Mitsui, Mitsubishi, and Yasuda) and a number of smaller ones. It was not a complete effort, even by MacArthur's own announced plans. The Big Four become ,Keiretsu,. Sumitomo, Mitsui and Mitsubishi retained their names. Yasuda became the ,Fuyo Group,.
Why do people repeatedly use the name of Ambani Adani to oppose the policies of Modi’s government? Weren't the industrialists in this country before the Modi government?
A case of a socialist mindset and selective amnesia, which in these days could be combined with a classic inability to bring in intelligent-sounding points, would be the reason. And I don’t think people in general use it, rather those using it are simply too fickle-minded, or at times, malicious. Because let’s be honest here. Today if you see politicians in western world who make statements like everything should be free, billionaires shouldn’t exist (depends on the billionaire), or state should fund everything, such kind of drivel isn’t something unheard of in India. In fact, India saw the results of what could happen if such things are put and formulated into a policy. You maybe surprised to hear this, but the South Korea, the country which today’s young generation knows more for K-Pop and overusage of cosmetic surgery, and less for beautiful things like Korean Train Express and fastest internet in planet, was somewhere in late 1950 was coming out of a nasty war and was more or less a largely agrarian society where majority were confined to villages and towns. It was also the time when government of the day formulated a policy to effectively make capitalism as a state policy and make amends with Japan, old enemy and colonizer of Koreas. Japan in this era were going once back to days of building more and more, and this diplomacy gave a much big a reason for Koreas to prosper. Note that this was effectively before arrival of a military government in the country. Around this time, Indian government was known to make socialism as state policy (nope, they would put it in writing much later). They went on to make laws that effectively in years to come went to ensure that competition gets cancelled out, since no genius would dare to start an industry by seeing such laws at first place. And if anyone wanted to be daring enough, they need to have friends in government who would ensure that they manage to get past. This classic case of socialism with Congress characteristics which contributed to lower growth rates, lower standards of living, became a testimony that some people of government termed “Hindu rate of growth”. This is a juvenile way of covering up your own faults. In addition, Congress, the party which was at forefront of this, was known for a giving a nasty addition to India- the politics of poverty, effectively creating a psyche that being rich is a matter of being evil and being poor is a matter of greatness. As a result, the default thing in India had come to a situation where through mass media methods that included movies of the bygone era, the businessmen were the villains and the poor worker are heroes, every damn time. Do it long enough and you have indoctrinated five generations into a communist who thinks that rich become rich because they exploit the poor , while the chief indoctrinator enjoying imported foreign items . Average Indian would have to wait for years to have a telephone connection or a TV set while the chief indoctrinator would probably behaving five imported cars in his garage. Average Indian with talent is busy leaving India because things never favoured here, but he is the enemy of India because he is leaving for better opportunities. Now on the Ambani part. As I said before, people love to talk of history but just don’t read it. Ambani , and by this I mean Dhirubhai Ambani, the father of the two bros today, was someone with seriously good ties with Indira Gandhi, the most socialist of all Indian PMs (even more than Nehru, though it was Nehru who started it all) The friendship paid dividends well for Reliance. However I don’t blame him, he is a man of practicality, else today Reliance won’t be selling cheap data (both in cost and quality) to people like me which I could use to do things like reading about Soviet war in Afghanistan, check out Steam, or answer this question. Any businessman has this fine art of making friends. Thing is that they make friends with everyone to remain in business. For example, how many remember his son Mukesh supporting Milind Deora (a known Congress face) for South Mumbai and Anant Ambani being in a rally of Narendra Modi? The logic of some is, that someone as successful as Ambani would be somewhere close to a particular party to remain powerful, is an argument that sounds so juvenile, that it makes me think that if there exists some people who think so, no wonder why India is right now as it is. We today have an entire populace who think that average India should not aim for airports, high-speed rail, privately-owned arms industries who can at times make weapons much faster and better than a state-run group crippled by hartaals, but on other hand send their own offspring to study in US universities, use iPhones that are essentially the most visible products of capitalism and these days, mollycoddle to big tech companies to stifle freedom of expression of those who don’t harbour their narrow mindset. Interesting as it goes, the support for industrialists, businessmen and corporates is something that has it’s own levels of selectiveness for them, considering that abusing Ambani or Adani looks cool but at same time getting funds from fellows like Soros. Truth be told, if you wish to create a country that truly is powerful, prosperous and has confident and happy people, the onus lies on creating a society that effectively promotes the ability of people to start something on their own and not tie them up and behave with them like milk-sucking babies. The more you allow it, the more competition arises. More competition leads to them trying to outperform one another, and in turn the outcome is better choice of better products. Japan post Meiji restoration was one of the first proofs of this I would say. Redistribution of land owned by warlords and daimyos and then allowing western technology with Japanese discipline and patriotism led to rise of the Zaibatsu, the Japanese term for big businesses run by a single family that had formal tie-up with Japanese government and aided it in their efforts for nation-building and military efforts. A typical example of a Zaibatsu would be the Mitsubishi Corporation Many of these companies were creators of everything from bullets to warships and fighters, and even after end of World War 2 some of them are alive and kicking. Interesting as it goes, railways in Japan were owned by private companies post 1987, though these companies aren’t Zaibatsus. Margaret Thatcher, the Iron lady of United Kingdom, the first woman to be the Prime Minister there, and these days among the most vilified politician by the Left, in her days went on a massive crackdown on unions that crippled the industries. Britain was fortunate to have her at the nick of time, and it worked wonders Her actions forced Tony Blair to adopt a “New Labour” in 2000s to ensure they don’t look like socialists. Funny enough, her legacy is still hated by socialists and leftists, because they can never make a nation like her. Israel, the nation which officially was socialist when it came to formation, had a gala time for more than two decades until major recessions began hitting the nation. In 1977, the country decided that it simply wasn’t working and therefore they switched to a more capitalistic nation. Let me be once gain, put an emphasis. You wish to make a country great? Then ensure that there are 100 people who create a business like Reliance. And why Reliance, they are too small for that also. We need to have bigger goals. Why not aim to create more than Reliance? You have problems with Ambani and Adani? Start by rejecting all their business first. Stop using their sims, stop taking part in ads of their products at first places, then preach. Till then, I have two fingers out of ten, one in each hand, for your opinion, and so does rest of India.
