CONTENTS
WHY SIX STAR?
The word “Subaru” has two meanings: the first translates into English as “gather together” and the second is the Japanese name for
Pleiades, the star cluster in the Taurus constellation. This formation is also called mutsuraboshi, the Japanese word for “six stars” and
appears in very old documents. When Subaru Global (originally known as Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd.) was incorporated in 1953, it
merged together five leading Japanese manufacturing companies and the automotive division called Subaru was eventually given the
now-familiar six-star logo.
