+The Takara Group was formed in Oklahoma City around 1973 by Bob Moore and Lee Connor to import bicycles made by [[kuwahara:start|Kuwahara]] into the US.  The brand folded in the mid-late 1980's and apparently has been reanimated by [[https://kent.bike/|Kent International]].((Kent, a long time family owned business, is the 2nd largest manufacterer of bicycles in the US.  [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_International|wikipedia]]))  New link for: [[https://kent.bike/collections/takara|Takara Bikes]].  Info from: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuwahara_(bicycle_company)|wikipedia]], [[https://classicjapanesebicycles.com/takara/]]
