- From an early age, Honda became interested in his father's workshop, where he repaired bicycles. From 1923 he worked as an apprentice in a workshop in Tokyo. Already during this time he demonstrated clever inventiveness. After completing his apprenticeship, Honda opened his own car repair shop and business was going well. Honda not only repaired cars, but also manufactured racing cars and also took part in the competitions as a driver. He had some racing successes until he had an accident during the Japan Rally in 1936 and suffered serious injuries. He then gave up racing. Honda then devoted itself to the production of piston rings, which he sold throughout Japan. During World War II, he was commissioned by the Japanese military to make wooden airplane propellers. At the same time, he invented a special production machine for this order, which impressed with its performance. After the Second World War, Honda founded the company "Honda Technical Research Institute" in 1946 as the basis of the later global corporation Honda.
It all began in a small wooden shed. By founding the company, Honda responded to the growing needs of many people for mobility and transportation. First, the inventor assembled motorcycles from used engines. The idea was a huge success and spurred Honda to develop its own motorcycles. In 1942, Honda bought a 40 percent stake in the car manufacturer Toyota, but the shares were sold again after the end of the war. In 1948, Honda founded the "Honda Motor Company" to produce its own motorcycles and appointed Takeo Fujisawa as commercial manager and Kijoshi Kawashima as technician to his team. In this constellation, the small company quickly developed into a successful company that, in its early days, primarily built quality motorcycles. Honda sought to escape Japan's economic crisis by participating in international racing and increasing exports. To this end, he developed his own racing department in his manufacturing company to design machines for trophy racing in Europe.
This ambitious project also quickly bore fruit of success from 1959 onwards. In the same year, Honda introduced the first motorcycle model with an electric starter in Amsterdam. After a Honda branch was opened in the USA, a base for Europe followed in Hamburg in 1961. The export hit Honda from Japan was unstoppable worldwide. In the meantime, the company had expanded its range not only to include cars and boat engines, but also in other technical areas. Honda continued to test new vehicles itself until he was 65 years old. In 1973, he gave up the position of president in his company. He dedicated himself to the "Honda Foundation", which strives to create a harmonious relationship between technology and the environment. Honda celebrated its greatest successes in international motorsport. Together with McLaren and William, the drivers Nelson Piquet, Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost won the Formula 1 World Championship five times in a row from 1987 to 1991. Honda was considered an expressive person who liked to dress according to fashion. He did not run his company according to patriarchal principles, but rather in a democratic manner, according to which performance should lead to earnings. He was the father of a son and two daughters.
Soichiro Honda died on August 5, 1991 in Tokyo. - Paul Brown is an American football coach and executive in the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) and National Football League (NFL). Brown was both the co-founder and first coach of the Cleveland Browns, a team named after him, and later played a role in founding the Cincinnati Bengals. His teams won seven league championships in a professional coaching career spanning 25 seasons.
Brown began his coaching career at Severn School in 1931 before becoming the head football coach at Massillon Washington High School in Massillon, Ohio, where he grew up. His high school teams lost only 10 games in 11 seasons. He was then hired at Ohio State University and coached the school to its first national football championship in 1942. After World War II, he became head coach of the Browns, who won all four AAFC championships before joining the NFL in 1950. Brown coached the Browns to three NFL championships - in 1950, 1954 and 1955 - but was fired in January 1963 amid a power struggle with team owner Art Modell. Brown in 1968 co-founded and was the first coach of the Bengals. He retired from coaching in 1975 but remained the Bengals' team president until his death in 1991. The Bengals named their home stadium Paul Brown Stadium in honor of Brown. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1967.
Brown is credited with a number of American football innovations. He was the first coach to use game film to scout opponents, hire a full-time staff of assistants, and test players on their knowledge of a playbook. He invented the modern face mask, the practice squad and the draw play. He also played a role in breaking professional football's color barrier, bringing the first African-Americans to play pro football in the modern era onto his teams. Despite these accomplishments, Brown was not universally liked. He was strict and controlling, which often brought him into conflict with players who wanted a greater say in play-calling. These disputes, combined with Brown's failure to consult Modell on major personnel decisions, led to his firing as the Browns' coach in 1963.
