Honda Origins - The Manga

Bouncing Back (1x1)

Uitzenddatum: Dec 16, 2022

Part 01 tells the story of the creation that would launch Honda as we know it today. In post-war Japan, where resources were scarce, Soichiro Honda began strapping surplus radio generators to bicycles, creating the first Honda-built motorcycles. The story kind of jumps around, and you get the sense that many parts are skipped over, but the chapter introduces Kiyoshi Kawashima, who would become President of Honda during the key years of 1973-83. It also establishes just how much of a mad scientist Old Man Honda was, and how it difficult it could have been to work for him.
