Original founder of Kyosho Mr Hisashi Suzuki passed away this morning. In recent years Hisashi Suzuki played a smaller role in the Kyosho management, acting as corporate advisor. His son Akihisa Suzuki is the current Chairman of Kyosho and in charge of Kyosho America.

Hisashi Suzuki will be remembered by all Kyosho employees as he founded the company in 1963 and gave more than 45 years of affection and dedication to Kyosho. Our thoughts & prayers are with the Suzuki family and employees, it is with sadness but immense respect that we mark the passing of a man who will be remembered as one of the forefathers of the Radio Control Hobby.
