The YAMATO cat

9

The Yamato Transport logo, featuring a black cat within a yellow oval, was designed in 1919 by the company's founder, Yasuomi Ogura. It stands as a symbol of good luck and has represented the brand for almost a century. The logo, portraying a mother cat carrying her kitten, signifies the company's promise to handle all shipments with extreme care.
