Subaru

In Japan, the cluster is mentioned under the name Mutsuraboshi ("six stars") in the eighth-century Kojiki. The cluster is now known in Japan as Subaru.

The name was chosen for that of the Subaru Telescope, the 8.2-meter (320 in) flagship telescope of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, located at the Mauna Kea Observatory on the island of Hawaii. It had the largest monolithic primary mirror in the world from its commissioning in 1998 until 2005.

It also was chosen as the brand name of Subaru automobiles to reflect the origins of the firm as the joining of five companies, and is depicted in the firm's six-star logo.
