Not a fake:
Toyota SE-06 Mechanical Sewing Machine Aisin-Toyota is a leader in industrial sewing, embroidery and knitting machines and is increasing their concentration on home machines. You may be familiar with their Aisin P.O.E.M. embroidery machine, which was also marketed by Singer as the Singer EU.
Of course, we all knew that Toyota started life as The Toyoda Automatic Loom Works (notice the address...Aichi Japan, same as their Final Assembly plant):
Eiji Toyoda smiles as he recalls the early days: "When I went to Detroit in 1950, we were producing 40 cars a day. Ford was making 8,000 units, a
200-times difference. The gap was enormous." But not all that daunting to a young Japanese engineer.- Vote on answer

Check this out about Honda:
"Company founder Soichiro Honda was a clown who, after working at Art Shokai, developed his own design for piston rings in 1938 " -- Wikipedia
Detroit hasn't been laughing for a long time!
