Daihatsu is owned by Toyota, since 1998.
Toyota raised its holding in Daihatsu from a majority to 100 per cent on 1 August 2016 through a share exchange in which it issued 0.26 of its own shares for each Daihatsu share it did not already hold.
Where it sits
Two levels. A figure marks a company boundary crossed; a word means the figure was never published.
Daihatsu
119 years, two owners since 1980
The year is coloured by whoever held it at the time.
- 1907 Daihatsu dates itself from 1 March 1907, when Hatsudoki Seizo Co., Ltd. was established in Osaka to make and sell internal combustion engines.
- 1998 Toyota took control of Daihatsu in September 1998 through a takeover bid: shareholders tendered 73,091,000 shares, lifting Toyota from 147,119,000 shares, 34.5 per cent, to 218,649,000 shares, 51.2 per cent, and Daihatsu, until then an independent listed company with Toyota as its largest shareholder, became a Toyota subsidiary.
- 2016 Toyota raised its holding in Daihatsu from a majority to 100 per cent on 1 August 2016 through a share exchange in which it issued 0.26 of its own shares for each Daihatsu share it did not already hold. Toyota had controlled Daihatsu since its 1998 takeover bid and held 51.19 per cent of the voting rights at 31 December 2015, so this was a step under the same owner and not a change of controlling owner.

Barely a percentage in sight: Lexus, Century and the Toyota badge are names, not companies, and only Daihatsu was bought.
