Is Mazda a Japanese company?

Mazda Motor Corporation (マツダ株式会社, Matsuda Kabushiki gaisha), also known as simply Mazda, is a Japanese multinational automotive manufacturer headquartered in Fuchū, Hiroshima, Japan. The company was founded on January 30, 1920, as Toyo Cork Kogyo Co., Ltd., a cork-making factory, by Jujiro Matsuda.

Is Mazda a real company?

The answer is a resounding yes. The Mazda Motor Corporation was born in the vibrant city of Hiroshima, Japan, back in 1920. Initially known as Toyo Cork Kogyo Co., Ltd., the company’s journey commenced with the production of “Autorickshaws,” three-wheeled motorcycles that swiftly became the talk of the town.

Why is it called “Mazda-Go”?

Made by a company that was then managed by a man named Matsuda, the name “Mazda-go” sounds fitting enough. The question is, how come it was spelt “Mazda” instead of “Matsuda”? “Mazda” comes from Ahura Mazda, the god of harmony, intelligence and wisdom from the earliest civilization in West Asia.
