"Mitsubishi" means "three diamonds" in Japanese, but Mitsubishi also means products of every description. Mitsubishi is one of Japan's top "keiretsu" (collection of historically affiliated companies with no official status as a group). It's primary units are Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (Japan's #1 maker of heavy machinery), the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, and Mitsubishi Corporation, a leading trading company, or "sogo shosha". Mitsubishi's more than 40 major companies make everything from steel and power plants to cars, chemicals, clothing, consumer electronics, and textiles. Like a diamond, the Mitsubishi companies were put under extreme pressure by Asia's economic crisis, and are restructuring to recover.
