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."

Famous quotes containing the word group:
“We begin with friendships, and all our youth is a reconnoitering and recruiting of the holy fraternity they shall combine for the salvation of men. But so the remoter stars seem a nebula of united light, yet there is no group which a telescope will not resolve; and the dearest friends are separated by impassable gulfs.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
