The {{nihongo|'''Mitsubishi Group'''|三菱グループ|Mitsubishi Gurūpu}} is a group of autonomous [[Japan]]ese [[multinational corporation|multinational]] companies in a variety of industries.

Founded by [[Iwasaki Yatarō|Yatarō Iwasaki]] in 1870, the '''Mitsubishi''' Group traces its origins to the Mitsubishi [[zaibatsu]], a unified company that existed from 1870 to 1946. The company, along with other major zaibatsu, was disbanded during the occupation of Japan following [[World War II]] by the order of the [[Allies of World War II|Allies]]. Despite the dissolution, the former constituent companies continue to share the Mitsubishi brand and [[trademark]].

While the group of companies engages in limited business cooperation, most notably through monthly “Friday Conference” executive meetings, they remain formally independent and are not under common control. The three main entities (''[[gosanke]]'') are [[Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group]] (the largest bank in Japan), [[Mitsubishi Corporation]] (a general trading company), and [[Mitsubishi Heavy Industries]] (a diversified manufacturing company).<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-08-21 |title=三菱グループ御三家による「三菱自救済」から、重工が足抜けできた理由 |url=https://diamond.jp/articles/-/246488 |access-date=2024-07-10 |website=ダイヤモンド・オンライン |language=ja}}</ref> A 2020 estimate concluded that all the Mitsubishi companies combined generate 7.7% of the total revenue of all publicly traded companies in Japan, and the group's assets amount to 433 trillion yen.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-03-16 |title=三菱グループ｢87万人組織｣の知られざる正体 |url=https://toyokeizai.net/articles/-/336878 |access-date=2024-07-10 |website=東洋経済オンライン |language=ja}}</ref>

== History ==
[[File:Iwasaki Yataro Photo Mitsubishi Archives.png|thumb|left|150px|[[Iwasaki Yatarō|Yatarō Iwasaki]], the founder of Mitsubishi]]
The Mitsubishi company was established as a [[shipping]] firm by [[Iwasaki Yatarō]] (1834–1885) in 1870 under the name {{nihongo|"Tsukumo Shokai"|九十九商会}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mitsubishi.com/en/profile/history/outline/|title=Origin|website=Mitsubishi.com|access-date=29 May 2021|archive-date=5 April 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230405214339/https://www.mitsubishi.com/en/profile/history/outline/|url-status=live}}</ref> In 1873, its name was changed to ''Mitsubishi Shokai''; {{nihongo4||{{linktext|三菱}}|Mitsubishi}} consists of two parts: "''mitsu''" (三) meaning "three" (as in the three oak leaves from the [[Mon (emblem)|crest]] of the [[Yamauchi clan|Yamauchi or Tosa family]] that ruled over Yatarō's birthplace and employed him) and "''hishi''" (菱, which becomes "''bishi''" under [[rendaku]]) meaning "[[water caltrop]]", and hence "[[rhombus]]", which is reflected in the company's [[logo]]. It is also translated as "three diamonds".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mitsubishi.com/en/profile/group/mark/|title=Mitsubishi Mark|website=www.mitsubishi.com|access-date=14 May 2021|archive-date=5 April 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230405213810/https://www.mitsubishi.com/en/profile/group/mark/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Mitsubishi was established in 1870, two years after the [[Meiji Restoration]], with shipping as its core business. Its diversification was mostly into related fields. It entered into coal-mining to gain the coal needed for ships, bought a shipbuilding yard from the government to repair the ships it used, founded an iron mill to supply iron to the shipbuilding yard, started a [[marine insurance]] business to cater for its shipping business, and so forth. Later, the managerial resources and technological capabilities acquired through the operation of shipbuilding were used to expand the business further into the manufacture of aircraft and equipment. The experience of overseas shipping led the firm to enter into a trading business.<ref name="Odagiri & Goto">{{Cite book | last = Odagiri | first = Hiroyuki | title = Technology and Industrial Development in Japan | publisher = Oxford University Press | year = 1996 | isbn = 0-19-828802-6 | page = 76}}</ref>
[[File:Koyata Iwasaki.JPG|left|thumb|190x190px|[[Koyata Iwasaki]], the longest-serving head of the unified Mitsubishi]]
In 1881, the company bought into [[coal mining]] by acquiring the Takashima Mine, followed by [[Hashima Island]] in 1890, using the production to fuel their extensive [[steamship]] fleet. They also diversified into shipbuilding, [[bank]]ing, [[insurance]], warehousing, and trade. Later diversification carried the organization into such sectors as [[paper]], [[steel]], [[glass]], electrical equipment, [[aircraft]], [[Petroleum|oil]], and [[real estate]]. As Mitsubishi built a broadly based [[conglomerate (company)|conglomerate]], it played a central role in the modernization of Japanese industry.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gearheads.org/the-history-of-mitsubishi-group/|title=The History of Mitsubishi Group|date=19 May 2012|publisher=GearHeads|access-date=25 October 2012|archive-date=2 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150502060557/http://gearheads.org/the-history-of-mitsubishi-group/|url-status=dead}}</ref>  In 1894, [[Hisaya Iwasaki]] succeeded his uncle [[Iwasaki Yanosuke|Yanosuke]] as president. During his tenure until 1916, he modernised the Nagasaki Shipyard and developed Marunouchi as a business district.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Hisaya Iwasaki |url=https://www.mitsubishi.com/en/profile/history/series/hisaya/ |access-date=2024-06-24 |website=www.mitsubishi.com}}</ref>

Hisaya was succeeded by his cousin [[Koyata Iwasaki|Koyata]] in 1916, and during his time as president the group saw a significant expansion. In 1917, he funded the establishment of an optics company and became the majority shareholder, which later became [[Nikon]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=vol.17 新規事業への進出 {{!}} 三菱グループサイト |url=https://www.mitsubishi.com/ja/profile/history/series/koyata/17/ |access-date=2024-04-07 |website=www.mitsubishi.com |language=ja}}</ref> During this era, [[Mitsubishi Heavy Industries]] was at the forefront of Japan's aircraft development.<ref>{{cite book |title=A Dictionary of Aviation |first=David W. |last=Wragg |isbn=9780850451634 |edition=first |publisher=Osprey |date=1973 |page=195 }}</ref> He reorganised the group into a form similar to what it is now, and he spun off each department into a subsidiary.

The firm's prime real estate holdings in the [[Marunouchi]] district of Tokyo, acquired in 1890, were spun off in 1937 to form [[Mitsubishi Estate]], now one of the largest real estate development companies in Japan.<ref>{{cite web|title=History|url=http://www.mec.co.jp/e/company/history/index.html|publisher=Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd.|access-date=7 September 2015|archive-date=16 November 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121116102217/http://www.mec.co.jp/e/company/history/index.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>

=== World War II ===
During the [[World War II|Second World War]], which was often advertised in government propaganda as a total war, Mitsubishi was a key player in the nation's wartime economy. Educated in [[England]] and having many business friends and partners in the [[Anglosphere]], Koyata was opposed to fighting a war against the Allies. However, he famously stated in his speech on 10 December 1941 that once the country had decided to wage a war with the [[United States]] and the [[British Empire]], each member of the company ought to serve the country in fulfilling its only goal, but the company should not forget what it owed to people in these countries.<ref>{{Cite web |title=vol.19: In the Service of the Country |url=https://www.mitsubishi.com/ja/series/koyata/19/ |access-date=2024-07-10 |website=www.mitsubishi.com |language=ja}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=河合敦 |title=『岩崎小弥太(いわさきこやた)』の意味と定義(全文) - 辞書辞典無料検索JLogos |url=http://www.jlogos.com/d013/14625101.html |access-date=2024-07-10 |website=『岩崎小弥太(いわさきこやた)』の意味と定義(全文) - 辞書辞典無料検索JLogos |language=ja}}</ref> [[File:Mitsubishi Zero-Yasukuni.jpg|thumb|Mitsubishi A6M "Zero" fighter]]

Arguably, one of the most tangible ways in which Mitsubishi was involved in the war was through its supply of ships, aircraft and other arms by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. The [[Mitsubishi A6M Zero]] fighter, designed by Dr. [[Jiro Horikoshi]] was the primary fighter of the [[Imperial Japanese Navy|Imperial Navy]].<ref name="life1942110986">{{cite magazine|last1=Wilcox|first1=Richard|title=The Zero|date=9 November 1942|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JUAEAAAAMBAJ&q=wilcox+mitsubishi+1942&pg=PA86|magazine=Life Magazine|access-date=19 October 2020|archive-date=19 December 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231219184617/https://books.google.com/books?id=JUAEAAAAMBAJ&q=wilcox+mitsubishi+1942&pg=PA86#v=snippet&q=wilcox%20mitsubishi%201942&f=false|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>Mersky, Peter B.

=== Post-war era ===

==== Dissolusion and reorganisation of the unified Mitsubishi ====
After the Second World War, under the Allied Occupation's policy to dissolve [[zaibatsu]], the Mitsubishi conglomerate underwent significant restructuring. Until the [[Cold War]] made the [[Eastern Bloc]] more menacing than the possible revival of a strong [[Japan]] and [[Germany]], the occupation forces’ initial aim, just like in Germany, was to weaken the Japanese economy so that the country could never wage war against them.<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal |last=Yoshida |first=Junzo |date=1996 |title=Development of Corporate Systems in the Post War Era: Mitsubishi |url=https://rku.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/5679/files/KJ00005534719.pdf |journal=流通経済大学論集 |volume=30 |issue=3}}</ref> Under this policy, Mitsubishi as a group was dissolved.<ref>{{cite book|editor-last1=Morris-Suzuki|editor-first1=Tessa|title=Japanese Capitalism Since 1945: Critical Perspectives|page=109|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9a9fV8RQFNsC&pg=PA113|isbn=9780873325516|year=1989|publisher=M.E.

Despite his resistance, he could not defy the tide of the times.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Chronicle: Koyata Iwasaki |url=https://www.mitsubishi.com/ja/series/koyata/ |access-date=2024-07-10 |website=www.mitsubishi.com |language=ja}}</ref> His cousin, [[Hisaya Iwasaki]], president of Mitsubishi Partnership Company at the time, expressed his frustration with the situation, noting that the company had been stripped bare, leaving only his ancestral land in Tosa and a mausoleum in Tokyo.

Due to the zaibatsu dissolution, [[Mitsubishi Estate]] was split into two companies, Kanto Real Estate and Yowa Real Estate. Yowa Real Estate owned a significant portion of the land between the [[Tokyo Imperial Palace|Imperial Palace]] and [[Tokyo Station]], including the [[Marunouchi Building]]. In 1952, an incident occurred where two men, Kuniichiro Fujiami and Shomitsu Tajima, who were closely linked to infamous [[yakuza]], attempted to take over Yowa Real Estate by becoming majority shareholders, as the market capitalisation of the company was significantly less than its real estate holdings. They [[greenmail]]ed, and other Mitsubishi companies had to buy the shares from them at an unjustly high price. This incident accelerated Mitsubishi's reintegration.<ref name=":1" /> In 1954, [[Mitsubishi Corporation]] was reformed, and the Mitsubishi Friday Club was established to foster camaraderie and information exchange among the chairpersons and presidents of major Mitsubishi companies. By 1964, [[Mitsubishi Heavy Industries]] also remerged.<ref name=":2" /> The Friday Club symbolised the formation of an equal group of companies, rather than the revival of the pre-war Mitsubishi zaibatsu with Mitsubishi Headquarters at the apex.<ref name=":1" />

==== Contemporary Mitsubishi Group ====
In 1970, Mitsubishi companies established the Mitsubishi Foundation to commemorate the centennial anniversary of the founding of the first Mitsubishi company. The companies also individually maintain charitable foundations. Mitsubishi pavilions have been highlights of expositions in Japan since EXPO'70 in Osaka in the 1970s to 1980s.

== Companies ==

=== Business form ===
[[File:Seikei University 01.jpg|thumb|The main campus of [[Seikei University]]]]
The Mitsubishi Group is made up of about 40 individual companies without a controlling parent company. Each of the Mitsubishi companies owns substantial (but usually not controlling) portions of the shares of the others.

Twenty-nine of the group companies participate in the {{nihongo|Friday Conference|金曜会|Kinyō-kai}}, a luncheon meeting of their most senior executives held on the second Friday of each month. The group began its tradition of monthly executive meetings in 1952, and over time the meetings became a venue for coordinating policy between the group companies. By the 1990s, this practice was criticized (particularly by non-Japanese investors) as a possible violation of [[antitrust law]]. Since 1993, the Friday Conference has officially been held as a social function, and not for the purpose of discussing or coordinating business strategy. Despite this, the Friday Conference has been a venue for informal cooperation and coordination between the group companies, most notably in bailing out [[Mitsubishi Motors]] during the mid-2000s.<ref name="diamond">{{cite news|title=三菱グループの最高決定機関「金曜会」の知られざる権力構造と裏序列|url=http://diamond.jp/articles/-/85099|access-date=28 April 2016|work=Shukan Diamond|date=25 January 2016|archive-date=13 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171213084802/http://diamond.jp/articles/-/85099|url-status=live}}</ref>

In addition to the Friday Conference, the group companies' heads of general affairs hold a meeting on the third Monday of each month, and the group companies' legal and IP departments hold a trademark policy coordination meeting on the first Friday of each month.<ref name="diamond" />

The company briefly dabbled in television during the early 1990s, when it agreed a deal with [[Westinghouse Broadcasting International]] to become the Japanese distribution representative.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Amdur|first=Meredith|date=1992-02-17|title=Dealing in Monte Carlo|work=[[Broadcasting & Cable|Broadcasting]]|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Magazines/Archive-BC-IDX/92-OCR/BC-1992-02-17-OCR-Page-0031.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211027022253/https://worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Magazines/Archive-BC-IDX/92-OCR/BC-1992-02-17-OCR-Page-0031.pdf |archive-date=2021-10-27 |url-status=live|access-date=2021-10-27}}</ref>
