The name was changed to Datsun as early as 1932 in order to create a reference to the sun. Rose early Nissan into the company, only in the 1950er years the export from Asia was really driven.

In 2012 Nissan announced a relaunch of the brand and 2013 already provided the first images of the Datsun-Go.
