Fuyo Group (芙蓉グループ, Fuyō Gurūpu?) is a Japanese keiretsu.
The group emerged after World War II as a continuation of the Yasuda zaibatsu. It coalesced around Fuji Bank, and group presidents began meeting regularly in 1964. After Fuji Bank merged with Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank and Industrial Bank of Japan to form Mizuho Bank, the group's central firm became Yasuda Life Insurance, which has since become part of the Mitsubishi Group of companies as well.
Fuyo is Japanese for "lotus" and comes from a classical reading of the name "Fuji."

“It is not God that is worshipped but the group or authority that claims to speak in His name. Sin becomes disobedience to authority not violation of integrity.”
