Also of interest, on the occasion of the release of Tamiya's first plastic model, Shunsaku Tamiya (son-in-law of Yojiro Tamiya, the company's founder) commissioned his younger brother, Masao, then a student at Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music Design Department, to create a new trademark. He created the Star Mark. At first it was decorated with English. Even now, the left, red star stands for passion and the right, blue star stands for precision.
