The NS motorcycle made by Nazao Shimazu in 1909 was the first motorcycle to be designed built and sold in Japan. Shimazu created the Nihon Motorcycle Company (NMC) to manufacture the NS. In 1926 he then produced another new motorcycle design the Arrow First. The earliest motorcycle that the Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan (Japanese) includes on its list of the 240 Landmarks of Japanese Automotive Technology is the 1909 NS.
