Can anyone confirm if this is the name of one of the people who built my car? I found it inside the console, beside the stick shift.

That says "Kousai"… probably not someone who built your car. It is not a common first or last name. The Internet says he was a Buddhist monk. I wonder what that's all about.

Also, directly translated it says something along the lines of "light finished" which is not something someone would usually write in Japan. Perhaps it's a car manufacturer thing, or a Honda thing?

I've encountered these inscriptions quite a few times, under dashboards and in panels.
I always assumed something written by quality control

Do you guys have any pictures? I'm curious to read what else they write.
 
pride of job well done

I found K-- in my 1991 tunnel , left side . Do not remember the rest , just the K . I assumed it was someone's initials . I also saw the same initials in a tunnel on a recent forum picture .

I also confirmed it states "Light Finished". I am thinking this is a QA step during the hand built process, so the next guy can start his phase of the build, JMO.

the best one I think is the A/C ( CCU ) it says " eternal sportmind for you " that one is cool to read

Thanks for all the info. So, my car has the ivory interior. I'm guessing now that the writing refers to the interior color!
