Noticing the importance of automotive safety earlier than most, Dr. Hirosuke Furusho was a pioneer in the research and development of passive safety measures that offer passenger protection in the event of an accident. His broad-minded leadership and creative business management made a significant contribution to the growth of the automotive industry. In recognition of these great achievements, the Japan Automotive Hall of Fame is honored to induct Dr. Hirosuke Furusho into the Hall of Fame.
