Miyazaki Airplane was an aircraft parts manufacturing company based in Japan's Tochigi Prefecture during World War II.[1] The company owned a factory located in Kanuma,[2] that manufactured parts, including rudders, for the Mitsubishi A6M Zero. During the war, the firm relocated to Utsunomiya.[3]
Ownership and leadership[edit]
The company was run by Katsuji Miyazaki (c. 1915 – 18 March 1993), the father of the Studio Ghibli animation studio co-founder Hayao Miyazaki.[4][5] During World War II production runs the company was owned by Katsuji's brother.
