Mazda Motor Corporation is a Japanese automotive manufacturer based in Hiroshima, Japan which produced almost 1.3 million vehicles for global sales during 2007. Most of them (at least 1 million) were produced in the company’s Japanese plants, with the remainder coming from a variety of other plants worldwide.

It is said that Mazda coincides with the anglicized pronunciation of the founder’s name, Jujiro Matsuda, who was interested in spirituality, and chose to rename the firm in honor of both his family and Zoroastrianism. The word Mazda derives from Ahura Mazda, the Avestan language name for a divinity exalted by the ancient Iranian prophet Zoroaster, as the source of wisdom, intelligence and harmony.
