2. There were two cousins X and Y who spent much of their youth in the family’s textile mill in western Japan that was established in 1918.

Y helped setup the family’s new manufacturing operation, while X was sent off to Tokyo Imperial University to study mechanical engineering. In 1934, the family produced an engine so identical to a Chevrolet model it accepted Chevrolet parts. Under Y’s leadership it also found revolutionary ways to boost efficiency. After receiving a degree in 1936, X returned to the business. To their dismay, the major portion of their plant was destroyed during war. The family rebuilt their plant and resumed production. Later, to understand competition, X visited Detroit. He came back with inspiration and ideas.

My question is which company does this story relate to?
