「Jinba ittai」

The Mazda MX-5 is a lightweight two-passenger sports car manufactured and marketed by Mazda with a front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. The convertible is marketed as the Mazda Roadster or Eunos Roadster in Japan, and as the Mazda Miata (/miˈɑːtə/) in the United States.

Mazda used a design credo across the four generations of the MX-5's development: the phrase jinba ittai (人馬一体), which translates into English as "rider and horse (jinba) as one body (ittai)".
