I think so. Honda can actually be regarded as a god or a legend in Japan. Compared to the other three. Have a higher status.
Why do you say that. Operating in the Four Saints, among the Four Saints, it can be said that Panasonic deserves the title as the leader of the Four Saints, absolutely. The other two are Sony and Kyocera. Not to mention these two. But Honda is a very different person. In his life, he believes that only technology can promote the company's development and future. Anyone who has read his books knows that he himself has done many things that are very touching. First, during World War II, Honda sold the company (which was still making piston rings at the time) to Toyota. Honda did not participate in World War II. Then he returned to his hometown to make salt (inventing a machine to make salt from seawater). After that, he reorganized and opened a factory to build cars. In order to make piston rings, Honda even went to class to learn. The Honda you see in the book is invention, invention, creation. There was no mention of business. And there is another person, Honda Assistant, who is the one who runs Honda's operations.
It can be said that it will be difficult to find people like Honda in Japan in the future. It's really hard. Moreover, the successor of the company is not his junior or close confidant but a young and impulsive person. That is, let the spirit of industry.
