In 1914, the Kwaishinsha Motorcar Works, established three years earlier, in Azabu-Hiroo District in Tokyo, built the first DAT. The new car's name being the acronym of the company's partners' surnames:
* Kenjiro Den
* Rokuro Aoyama
* Meitaro Takeuchi
The Works was renamed to Kwaishinsha Motorcar Co. in 1918, and again, in 1925, to DAT Motorcar Co.
The next year, the Tokyo-based company merged with the Osaka-based Jitsuyo Jidosha Co., Ltd. (established 1919) as DAT Automobile Manufacturing Co. Ltd. in Osaka until 1932. In 1931, the first DATSON—meaning "Son of DAT"—was produced. However, the last syllable was changed to "sun", because "son" also means "loss" in Japanese, hence the name "Datsun".
In 1933, the company name was Nipponized to Jidosha-Seizo Co. Ltd. ("Automobile Manufacturing Co. Ltd.") and moved to Yokohama. In 1934, Jidosha-Seizo merged with a fellow Japanese automanufacturer named Nihon Sangyo Co. Ltd. ("Japan Industry Co. Ltd.") who was popularly known as "Ni-San."
The company became Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. on June 1, 1934, and was founded by Yoshisuke Aikawa.

R32 60th Anniversary editions exist (see attachments). The 40th anniversary edition R33 models made in 1998 are probably to celebrate the 40th anniversary of skylines (not Nissan itself).
