Which company owns Kawasaki?

Kawasaki is Japan's fourth largest motorcycle anufacturer and part of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, an enormous ship-building company. Kawasaki also makes many manufacturing robots, often to be found assembling cars in factories around the globe.

Suzuki, the world's 9th largest car manufacturer and Japan's 3rd largest motorcycle motorcycle manufacturer took a major stake in Kawasaki's Motorcycle division in recent years. After a long lull in the release of new models, the relationship appears to have given Kawasaki fresh impetus. The two brands remain distinct in terms of design and production though, sharing nothing obvious in the finished machines.
