    In 1928, Yoshisuke Aikawa (nickname: Gisuke/Guisuke Ayukawa) founded the holding

    company Nihon Sangyo (日本産業 Japan Industries or Nihon Industries). The name 'Nissan'
    originated during the 1930s as an abbreviation[17] used on the Tokyo Stock
    Exchange for Nihon Sangyo. This company was Nissan "Zaibatsu" which included Tobata Casting
    and Hitachi. At this time Nissan controlled foundries and auto parts businesses, but Aikawa did not
    enter automobile manufacturing until 1933.[18]
    The zaibatsu eventually grew to include 74 firms and became the fourth-largest in Japan
    during World War II.[19]
    In 1931, DAT Jidosha Seizo became affiliated with Tobata Casting and was merged into Tobata
    Casting in 1933. As Tobata Casting was a Nissan company, this was the beginning of Nissan's
    automobile manufacturing.[20]
    Nissan Motor organized in 1934[edit]
    In 1934, Aikawa separated the expanded automobile parts division of Tobata Casting and
    incorporated it as a new subsidiary, which he named Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (日産自動車, Nissan
    Jidōsha).[21] The shareholders of the new company; however, were not enthusiastic about the
    prospects of the automobile in Japan, so Aikawa bought out all the Tobata Casting shareholders
    (using capital from Nihon Industries) in June 1934. At this time, Nissan Motor effectively became
    owned by Nihon Sangyo and Hitachi.[22]
    In 1935, the construction of its Yokohama plant was completed. 44 Datsuns were shipped to Asia,
    Central and South America. In 1935, the first car manufactured by an integrated assembly
    system rolled off the line at the Yokohama plant.[14] Nissan built trucks, airplanes, and engines for
    the Imperial Japanese Army. In November 1937 Nissan moved its headquarters to Xinjing, the
    capital of Manchukuo. In December the company changed its name to Manchuria Heavy Industries
    Developing Co (MHID).[23][24]
    In 1940, the first knockdown kits were shipped to Dowa Jidosha Kogyo (Dowa Automobile), one of
    MHID's companies, for assembly.[14] In 1944, the head office was moved to Nihonbashi, Tokyo, and
    the company name was changed to Nissan Heavy Industries, Ltd., which the company kept through
    1949.[14]
