Racial Discrimination: The Mitsubishi, Japan Case
This would not have irked him so much, he says, if it were not for the fact that Japanese employees of the firm, whose perks he was supposed to share, were receiving English lessons paid for almost entirely by Mitsubishi Electric.
Mitsubishi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mitsubishi companies, or the Mitsubishi Group of Companies or the Mitsubishi Group is a large group (keiretsu) of independently operated Japanese companies which share the Mitsubishi brand name. During the Second World War, Mitsubishi manufactured aircraft, including the famous Zero that was used in the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and many other occasions during the war. Also, like many other big Japanese corporations at that time, it made use of slave labor from the Japanese captured territories, like Korea and China, during the war. With poor working conditions, many people died during this period. Mitsubishi split itself into independent companies in 1946 under the postwar government policy of decentralizing industry. The newly independent companies used their accumulated technology and other strengths to pursue growth under separate business models. As independent corporations, the Mitsubishi companies cooperated in some ventures, as in petrochemicals and nuclear power, and competed with each other in other sectors.

Maurice "Mo" Mazer survived the Bataan Death March. He was sent to Hanawa Camp to work for Mitsubishi Mining in its copper mines. Mazer says he was crippled for life when nonmilitary overseers ran a full cart of ore into him because he had complained about conditions in the mine. "They were standing there, laughing," Mazer remembers. In a statement, the Mitsubishi Corporation says that forced labor is inconsistent with the company's values, and that the various lawsuits targeting Mitsubishi are misdirected. Instead, a spokesman says the Mitsubishi of World War II is not the same Mitsubishi of today. CREDITS: The poetry on top by author Takayasu Miyakawa in Chuko Shinsho pocket book.
