Mitsubishi Motors is a Japanese multinational automotive manufacturing corporation based in Tokyo, Japan. It also operates a financial service that provides lending and financing for its car sales. As of 2011, it was the sixth biggest Japanese automaker, and the sixteenth biggest automaker in the world by production.

The name "Mitsubishi" refers to the three-diamond emblem. "Mitsubishi" is a combination of the words mitsu and hishi. Mitsu means three. Hishi means water chestnut, and Japanese have used the word for a long time to denote a rhombus or diamond shape. Japanese often bend the "h" sound to a "b" sound when it occurs in the middle of a word. So they pronounce the combination of mitsu and hishi as mitsubishi.
