Not as much, no. From my experience massive conglomerates seem to be a Japanese / Korean thing. I used to have a Yamaha dirt bike and keyboard!

Hitachi doesn't actually sell Hitachis under the Hitachi brand anymore, even though they have incredible name recognition and a really good reputation as vibrators, because they don't want the company to be associated with sex toys 
Cowards. I would absolutely promote vibrators alongside my high speed trains
do american companies do shit like this too, and I just don't know because everything's a subsidiary with a different brand?
Yes, but they do it through subsidiaries. Smaller companies owned by the larger one. The vibrator would be branded by CompanyA. The train branded by CompanyB. Both A & B are owned by MegaCorp.
yeah that's exactly what I meant, I kinda assumed everyone does it and we just have this meme of japanese/korean companies doing it because they keep the overarching brand on all of it
