Japanâs Mazda founded. On this day in 1920, Jujiro Matsuda (1875-1952) forms Toyo Cork Kogyo, a business that makes cork, in Hiroshima, Japan; just over a decade later the company produces its first automobile and eventually changes its name to Mazda.
The name was also associated with Ahura Mazda (God of Light), with the hope that it would brighten the image of these compact vehicles. The company website further notes that the name also derives from the name of the company's founder, Jujiro Matsuda.
