In 1961, the organization of the “All Mitsubishi Sports Meeting” was set up for the purpose of promoting sports techniques, mutual friendship and harmony among Mitsubishi group members through sports activities under the Mitsubishi Club (founded in 1957 and renamed as the Mitsubishi Yowa* Club in 1973). In 1978, the cultural sector joined in this organization, hoping to spread its activities throughout the Mitsubishi group in a manner similar to the sports sector. As the results, it became the “All Mitsubishi Sports and Culture Meeting”. Thereafter, in 1981, the Mitsubishi Yowa* Club merged with the Mitsubishi Yowakai* Foundation together with the Mitsubishi Sports Club (organized in 1975). At that time, it was considered suitable that the All Mitsubishi Sports and Culture Meeting should be managed as one single event under the control of the Mitsubishi Kinyokai*. Therefore, the Mitsubishi Yowakai* Foundation has been consigned to work as the secretariat. The work has been continuing up to now. The origins of the All Mitsubishi Sports and Culture Meeting can be traced back to “the Mitsubishi Exercise Club” which was established in 1903 by Mr. Hisaya Iwasaki, the third chairman of Mitsubishi group.
