About Datsun History
Datsun originated in Japan as DAT-GO (the DAT-car) almost a century ago in 1914. The
word DAT means ‘lightning-fast’ in Japanese but is also a reference to the first letters of
family names of the three financiers who supported the business at the time: Den,
Aoyama and Takeuchi. Using the same logic, it was promoted as Durable, Attractive and
Trustworthy, or DAT for short.
In 1933, Nissan’s founding father Yoshisuke Aikawa took over the business with a vision
of “mobility for all”. The introduction of a light-weight, economical yet resilient car to
meet the aspirations of young Japanese people in the early 1930s was named the ‘son of
DAT’ – Datson - which later changed to Datsun. Local engineering and mass-production
made the founder’s dream a reality.
