Not to be confused with the crime syndicate; Zaibatsu Corporation, or the game developer Kaihatsu.

A Japanese multinational conglomerate that manufactures cars, electronics, cruise missiles and just about every other product on the face of the planet. The definition of over-diversified.
— Description at Bawsaq.com.

The Maibatsu Corporation (Japanese Katakana: マイバツ) (BAWSAQ: MAI) is a Japanese multinational conglomerate that has appeared in every Grand Theft Auto game since Grand Theft Auto III, except for Grand Theft Auto Advance. The company is also featured in the Manhunt series.

Overview[]

The player can buy stocks from them at the Bawsaq.com website in GTA V. The name "Maibatsu" is a portmanteau of Mitsubishi and Daihatsu, and is also similar in name to "Zaibatsu" (財閥), a Japanese term for a large conglomerate. Maibatsu's description as an "over-diversified" company reflects Mitsubishi Group's incredibly diverse products, from cars (Mitsubishi Motors Corporation/MMC), heavy equipment (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries), aircraft, and home appliances.

Trivia[]

  • The "Maibatsu Corporation" is likely a nod to the Zaibatsu Corporation, a massive corporation that plays a large role in Grand Theft Auto 2.
  • The Maibatsu Monstrosity ad seen in the European GTA III handbooks is clearly a Ford F-250 body on a monster truck chassis, with almost no alterations to make it differ otherwise.
  • The Maibatsu Plaza statue appears to have taken inspiration from Lee Lawrie's Atlas statue at the Rockefeller Center in New York City.
