Tohatsu History
Tohatsu's engine production started in 1922 with the development of a small gasoline
engine which was a first in Japan. Tohatsu engines
have been installed in various products such as motorcycles, fishing
boats, snow vehicles, fire pumps, and submersible pumps for worldwide
markets.
In 1956, Tohatsu produced the first outboard motor in Japan, the
"OB-2", an air-cooled 1.5 horsepower machine. Originally
designed for Japanese commercial fishermen, Tohatsu Outbaords have been put
to the ultimate test for decades - harsh ocean conditions and long days of
running for hours at a time. A further testament to Tohatsu's toughness
the 2.5hp still holds the world record for the smallest outboard ever used
to cross the Atlantic. Tohatsu delivers Reliability and Durability.
Tohatsu has steadily increased brand recognition through the development
of marine products such as four-stroke and TLDIĀ®
outboard motors. Tohatsu strengthens their position as a "pioneer of
outboard motors" by continuing to work toward the development of
powerful, low emission engines. Tohatsu strongly believes in offering
reliable products that meet the gentle needs of the environment while also
providing exceptional power and unmatched durability.
