Since I was surprised to learn that there's a Suzuki Music, I checked, and unlike Yamaha, it's unrelated to the Suzuki that builds bikes and cars. Interestingly, they all are from the same city (including Yamaha). Suzuki is a rather common name in Japan (I think it's number 2 in number of people) so it's not totally surprising that two companies share the name. While I'm here, Yamaha motors was actually spun off Yamaha music. Yes, they started with instruments and went building bikes.

To add to that fun fact, it's why the Yamaha logo is three crossed tuning forks.

  To further add facts, logos such as these draw upon the tradition of Japanese emblems or "mon" [1]. Mitsubishi being another famous one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mon_(emblem) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mon_(emblem)

Oh :) Good to know. I have a Suzuki ... car. When I bought it i had to always specify it's a car because everyone assumed I got into motorcycles. At least the musical instruments are made by a different company.
