Sakutu Motors was born in Tokyo in 1976, the result of various investors who finally chose the name Sakutu, which is the union of Sakuto (from the Japanese "when it
blooms") and "u", slang of "you"), meant as si it can flourish (metaphorically) driving the brand's cars.
In the early years Sakutu establishes agreements with Pochette for the development of boxer engines and
the sharing of some frames.
