Yamaha

Brand Description

Yamaha was established in 1887 as a maker of reed organs by Torakusu Yamaha in Hamamatsu, Japan. Initially called Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd, the company flourished by expanding its product line, first branching into pianos by 1900. Yamahas's commitment to superior craftsmanship and innovation quickly set it apart in the music industry, garnering worldwide acclaim. In the 1950s, Yamaha ventured into the automotive sector, creating its first motorcycle, the YA-1. This venture was driven by Genichi Kawakami, who was determined to diversify the company's offerings beyond musical instruments. The success of Yamaha in the motorcycle industry prompted the formation of Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd in 1955. Today, both Yamaha Corporation and Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd are thriving entities with a global reach, deeply ingrained in their respective industries.
