mitsubishi history 101:
origins of the mitsubishi logo -
The Mitsubishi Group of companies started over 100 years ago during the Meiji Period (1867-1912). The Mitsubishi logo came from the Tosa region (today the region is called Kochi Prefecture), and is actually a combination of the Three Oak Leaves family crest of the Yamauchi Family of the Tosa Clan, and the Three Diamonds family crest of a samurai named Yataro Iwasaki. The present form of the Mitsubishi logo was first used in 1910, the 43rd year of the Meiji Period.

the mitsubishi model A - 1917
in WW2, mitsubishi made guns for the japanese imperial forces as well as the famous (or infamous) japanese zero fighter (remember pearl harbor).
mitsubishi even released a lancer evo6 called the mitsubishi lancer evo fighter (made more than 300hp).... but thats another story.

Mitsubshi still has it's hands in a lot of things other than cars: Computers, weapons, home entertainment, industrial equipment etc. Currently Mitsubishi is involved in development of a fighter based heavily on the F-16 for the JASDF called the FX-S/F-2.

The word Mitsubishi actually translates to "tripple Diamond"
Mitsubishi is one of the world's largest conglamorates along with Kia believe it or not.

Badge from a '76 Colt Lancer 1400 :
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>The name "Mitsubishi" refers to the three-diamond emblem. "Mitsubishi" is a combination of the words mitsu and hishi. Mitsu means three. Hishi means water chestnut, and Japanese have used the word for a long time to denote a rhombus or diamond shape. Japanese often bend the "h" sound to a "b" sound when it occurs in the middle of a word. So they pronounce the combination of mitsu and hishi as mitsubishi. Â*
Yataro Iwasaki, the founder of the old Mitsubishi organization, chose the three-diamond mark as the emblem for his company. The mark is suggestive of the three-leaf crest of the Tosa Clan, Yataro's first employer, and also of the three stacked rhombuses of the Iwasaki family crest.</div>
