Mazda CX-90 TV Spot, 'The First Ever' Featuring Hiroyuki Sanada, Song by Matt Abeysekera [T1]

Hiroyuki Sanada MBE (真田 広之, Sanada Hiroyuki, born Shimozawa; 12 October 1960) is a Japanese actor and martial artist.

Recently, celebrity mechanic Ant Anstead and actor and martial arts expert Hiroyuki Sanada were invited to check out the SUV and learn about many of the motivations behind its design, which Mazda has highlighted in a teaser video released on Thursday.

The Deity Ahura Mazda Another likely inspiration for the name Mazda comes from the Zoroastrian deity Ahura Mazda. According to Zarathustra, the spiritual founder of Zoroastrianism, Ahura Mazda created all cosmic order and the universe itself.

Striving to make a contribution to the world peace and to be a light in the automotive industry, Toyo Kogyo was renamed Mazda Motor Corporation.

The current Mazda logo was designed by Rei Yoshimara, who is known around the world for corporate logo designs, intended for the stylized “V” of the logo to be representative of outstretched wings.

The symbol stands for Mazda's determination to “pursue ongoing improvements to drive powerful, continuous growth”, expressed by a pair of wings shaped like a letter M in an oval. The V-shaped wings are also suggestive of Mazda's flexible thinking, creativity, vitality, kindness and resilience.

Zoroastrianism is one of the oldest living world-religions. Professor Almut Hintze explores its history and some of the key components of the religion: its beliefs, sacred texts and rituals. Zoroastrianism is one of the world's oldest known living religions and has its origins in the distant past.

“Mazda” comes from Ahura Mazda, the god of harmony, intelligence and wisdom from the earliest civilization in West Asia. Key members of Toyo Kogyo interpreted Mazda as a symbol of the beginning of the East and the West civilization, but also a symbol of the automotive civilization and culture.

emblem of Hiroshima city From 1936 Mazda also had a new logo that was inspired by the emblem of Hiroshima city. The emblem of Mazda's home town features three waved white lines on a green background that represent the three flows of the Ota River delta in Hiroshima.

The Cylon: 1991-1992 Mazda introduced a proper logo again in 1991. Known as the “Cylon,” it was said to represent “a sun and a flame standing for heartfelt passion.” It could be described as a diamond, inside a bigger diamond, inside an oval.
