STORY of Mr. Soichiro HONDA

Soichiro Honda was born on November 17, 1906, in Komyo Village (now Tenryu City), Iwata County, Shizuoka Prefecture, as the eldest son of Gihei Honda and his wife Mika. Gihei was a skilled and honest blacksmith and Mika an accomplished weaver. The family was poor but Soichiro’s upbringing was happy.

Sakakibara also encouraged Honda’s interest in the world of motorsports. Motorsports in Japan goes back to the early years of the Taisho Era(1912–1926), around the beginning of World War I. It began with motorcycle racing but soon developed into full-scale car racing, which became popular back in the 1920s.

According to Mr. Honda, “When my wife cried and begged me to stop I had to give it up”, but she said that the true story was slightly different: “Did he stop because of something I said? I think it was a lecture from his father that made up his mind!” .
