Best known in the States as a passenger vehicle manufacturer, this conglomerate also consists of a bank (The Bank of Tokyo, no less), a chemical company, and a heavy machinery division (trains, planes, nuclear energy systems).
Most interesting to me, is the A6M carrier fighter, known to US forces in WWII as the Zero or "Zeke" was also of Mitsubishi design and manufacture. It was actually superior to American fighters in terms of speed and maneuverability, but due to an almost complete lack of armor, suffered from very high pilot mortality.
That's pretty interesting. I know they also make televisions and the like. I like their logo.
