Company FHI - the successor company Nakajima Aircraft, which was originally founded as the aircraft research laboratory.
The laboratory was founded in 1917 Tikuheem Nakajima (1884-1949 years) in Gumma Prefecture (Gunma Prefecture; approximately 70 km north of Tokyo) and is now the main location of modern production base of Subaru.
Tihuey was the eldest son of the family farmer, Gumma Prefecture.

It is the dream of passion and romance of the sky, wanted to participate in the process of building aircraft for the Japanese armed forces, but instead of studying the development and manufacture of aircraft, he left the army, and organized an aviation research lab.
Soon, the laboratory became known as Nakajima Aircraft Co. This renaming emphasizes the fact that the company has reached one level with the leading manufacturers of aircraft in Japan. But by the end of the Second World War in 1945, production of aircraft has been stopped.

However, sales were postponed because of difficulties finding financing for the plant equipment and organization of the network to sell cars.
Nevertheless, this car has great significance in the further development of models of Subaru 360 and Subaru 1000.
When all the manufacturers have focused on the rear-wheel drive, Subaru thought a little differently, and to market the first Japanese car with front drive, 1000 model Subaru.
