 == History ==
-Throughout his life, Honda's founder, Soichiro Honda, had an interest in automobiles. He worked as a mechanic at the Art Shokai garage, where he tuned cars and entered them in races. In 1937, with financing from his acquaintance Kato Shichirō, Honda founded Tōkai Seiki (Eastern Sea Precision Machine Company) to make piston rings working out of the Art Shokai garage.[11] After initial failures, Tōkai Seiki won a contract to supply piston rings to Toyota, but lost the contract due to the poor quality of their products.[11] After attending engineering school without graduating, and visiting factories around Japan to better understand Toyota's quality control processes known as "Five whys", by 1941 Honda was able to mass-produce piston rings acceptable to Toyota, using an automated process that could employ even unskilled wartime laborers.[11][12]:16–19

-Tōkai Seiki was placed under the control of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (called the Ministry of Munitions after 1943) at the start of World War II, and Soichiro Honda was demoted from president to senior managing director after Toyota took a 40% stake in the company.[11] Honda also aided the war effort by assisting other companies in automating the production of military aircraft propellers.[11] The relationships Honda cultivated with personnel at Toyota, Nakajima Aircraft Company and the Imperial Japanese Navy would be instrumental in the postwar period.[11] A US B-29 bomber attack destroyed Tōkai Seiki's Yamashita plant in 1944, and the Itawa plant collapsed on 13 January 1945 Mikawa earthquake. Soichiro Honda sold the salvageable remains of the company to Toyota after the war for ¥450,000 and used the proceeds to found the Honda Technical Research Institute in October 1946.[11][13]
+Honda has been the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer since 1959, reaching a production of 400 million by the end of 2019, as well as the world's largest manufacturer of internal combustion engines measured by volume, producing more than 14 million internal combustion engines each year.[5] Honda became the second-largest Japanese automobile manufacturer in 2001. Honda was the eighth largest automobile manufacturer in the world in 2015.
-With a staff of 12 men working in a 16 m2 (170 sq ft) shack, they built and sold improvised motorized bicycles, using a supply of 500 two-stroke 50 cc Tohatsu war surplus radio generator engines.[11][12]:19[14] When the engines ran out, Honda began building their own copy of the Tohatsu engine, and supplying these to customers to attach to their bicycles.[11][14] This was the Honda A-Type, nicknamed the Bata Bata for the sound the engine made.[11] In 1949, the Honda Technical Research Institute was liquidated for ¥1,000,000, or about US$5,000 today; these funds were used to incorporate Honda Motor Co., Ltd.[12]:21 At about the same time Honda hired engineer Kihachiro Kawashima, and Takeo Fujisawa who provided indispensable business and marketing expertise to complement Soichiro Honda's technical bent.[12]:21 The close partnership between Soichiro Honda and Fujisawa lasted until they stepped down together in October 1973.[12]:21
+Honda was the first Japanese automobile manufacturer to release a dedicated luxury brand, Acura, in 1986. Aside from their core automobile and motorcycle businesses, Honda also manufactures garden equipment, marine engines, personal watercraft and power generators, and other products. Since 1986, Honda has been involved with artificial intelligence/robotics research and released their ASIMO robot in 2000. They have also ventured into aerospace with the establishment of GE Honda Aero Engines in 2004 and the Honda HA-420 HondaJet, which began production in 2012. Honda has two joint-ventures in China: Dongfeng Honda and Guangqi Honda.
-The first complete motorcycle, with both the frame and engine made by Honda, was the 1949 D-Type, the first Honda to go by the name Dream.[13][15] In 1961, Honda achieved its first Grand Prix victories and World Championships in 125cc and 250cc.[16] Honda Motor Company grew in a short time to become the world's largest manufacturer of motorcycles by 1964.[citation needed]
+In 2013, Honda invested about 5.7% (US$6.8 billion) of its revenues in research and development. Also in 2013, Honda became the first Japanese automaker to be a net exporter from the United States, exporting 108,705 Honda and Acura models, while importing only 88,357.

-Honda was founded in 1946 by engineer, inventor and race car driver Soichiro Honda, born in 1906. The company as it stands and with more than 50 years of history has survived thanks to his audacious, inventive and unconventional way of thinking and behaving.

-Typa-47X Born into a poor Honda family, before graduating from high school, at the age of 16 he entered an auto repair shop in Tokyo as an apprentice. An early attachment to motor vehicles was due to his father's profession - a blacksmith who fixed bicycles and instilled in his son the skills of solving technical problems. In 1928, having saved enough money, he returned to his hometown in Hamamatsu province and opened the first repair shop there. In the same year, he received the first of his hundreds of subsequent patents - for the idea of replacing wooden spokes in a wheel with metal ones. Honda's inventions in the future brought him fame as a man capable of finding simple solutions to complex problems. In 1938 he invented the piston ring; the production of rings was carried out by Tokai Seiki Heavy Industry, which he founded in 1937.

-Honda основанна в 1946 году инженером, изобретателем и автогонщиком Соичиро Хонда (Soichiro Honda), родившимся в 1906 году. Компания в ее нынешнем виде и со всей своей более чем 50-летней историей существует благодаря его дерзкому, изобретательному и нестандартному образу мышления и поведения.
+Honda was founded in 1946 by engineer, inventor and race car driver Soichiro Honda, born in 1906. The company as it stands and with more than 50 years of history has survived thanks to his audacious, inventive and unconventional way of thinking and behaving.
-Typa-47X Родившийся в бедной семье Хонда, не закончив школу, уже в 16 лет поступил учеником в авторемонтную мастерскую в Токио. Ранняя привязанность к автотранспорту была обусловлена профессией его отца – кузнеца, занимавшегося починкой велосипедов и привившего сыну навыки решения технических проблем. В 1928 году, накопив достаточно денег, он вернулся в родной город в провинции Хамаматсу и открыл там первую ремонтную мастерскую. В этом же году он получил первый из сотен своих последующих патентов – за идею заменить в колесе деревянные спицы - металлические. Изобретения Хонды в будущем принесли ему славу человека, способного находить простые решения - сложных проблем. В 1938 году он изобрел поршневое кольцо; производством колец и занималась основанная им в 1937 году компания Tokai Seiki Heavy Industry.
