Buddy Club---really from Japan?

So, is Buddy Club originally born and created in Japan or is it a Chinese company introducing parts/cars/sponsorships in Japan to front as a Japanese company? Discuss.

They are based in Japan and the majority of their parts are aimed at the Honda crowd. I am sure they are like most japanese companies......started in japan and have home base in japan, but found cheaper labor and higher profits in china, HK, taiwan. I am not 100% positive on it, but I know many Japanese based companies are moving their production to China because the wages they have to pay are much lower. Japan is an expensive place to live and its hard to keep all of their workers fed when it costs so much.

But just because its produced in China doesn't mean its bad. The Japanese companies still do all the testing and design, and just have it manufactured over there. Not like all the products are made with inferior chinese metals or something LOL. But most likely if something is made in japan it will cost more, so get ready to spend some cash if you are worried about it that much.
