Nissan

Although the car company has a long winded explanation of its name, I saw a different one. While watching a late 1950's early 60's western serial called "Paladin" which was set in the late 1800's, an American character of Japanese decent was having a discussion with a person from Japan. The American described himself as a nissan, which he stated to mean an American born Japanese person. So in our day we saw Datsun come to America, and in the 70's was reborn as Nissan. (American born Japanese)

He is a nissan, as is his car.
