 	Honda beginnings lie in piston ring manufacturing. Soichiro Honda, an accomplished mechanical engineer, cast pistons out of his machine shop in 1938. His original attempts to sell these to Toyota were unsuccessful but two years later would receive a large order from them. In response to this business Honda created a few factories that miraculously escaped the bombing raids of WW2 only to succumb to an earthquake. He sold those operations to Toyota and decided to fully commit to the motorbike industry. Already having had been selling motorbikes of his own design on the small scale Honda searched out capital to broaden his business. He found it in the form of Takeo Fujisawa and together they started a company in 1949. Honda’s innovation in motorcycle design spurred the company to success garnering 15% of the motorcycle market by 1954. Honda himself was interested in the motorcycle racing world and in its pursuit won awards and recognition on a worldwide scale. However innovation was also evident in the civilian market and this led Honda Motor Co. to take the lead in the Japanese market in 1959. During this time Honda was experimenting overseas in Southeast Asia with little success however 59’ also marked the establishment of a US subsidiary which was to yield much success. By 1964 nearly one out of every two motorcycles sold in the United States was a Honda. This growth would allow Honda to expand into car and truck manufacturing in 1967 but its sales would lag until the Civic was introduced in 73’.  The investment would prove worth it and a plant dedicated to cars would be established in Marysville, Ohio in 82’. In 92 Honda established a joint venture in the Chinese motorcycle market. 93’ would not treat Honda so kindly with declining sales due to a scandal and an oversaturated market. The Japanese economy was not doing well overall in 90s but Honda would manage to pull through and stand today as the fifth largest auto manufacturer in the world. Today Honda has ¥86 billion in capital and 339 (as of March 31, 2006) worldwide.
