Green Manufacturing

WHY SIX STAR?
Just 60 years ago, Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI), Subaru’s parent company, unveiled the P-1, its
first automotive prototype, which became the Subaru 1500. In Japanese, Subaru has two meanings:
the first evocatively means “gather together” and the second identifies the Taurus constellation’s
Pleiades cluster of six stars, featured in the familiar Subaru badge. In Japanese, it’s also called
mutsuraboshi (six stars) and appears in very old documents, indicating the historical Japanese
love for the Pleiades stars. FHI takes pride in having been the first vehicle manufacturer to use a
Japanese word for an automobile brand.
