The History of Yanboh and Marboh
Here we will show you how Yanboh and Marboh have evolved since their creation in 1959.
The Yanboh and Marboh Weather Forecast on Japanese television begins with the desire to deliver useful information to customers in the agriculture and fishery industries. In fact, the first design of Yanboh and Marboh only makes a few rare appearances in commercials at the time.
Yanmar’s core technologies continue to advance, with Yanmar developing its first tractor, the YM273. At the same time, Yanboh and Marboh start to look more childlike and their movements get quicker and quicker.
Yanmar begins to produce boats made of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP). At the same time, Yanboh and Marboh go from black and white to color, becoming more vibrant than ever before. In fact, this design of Yanboh and Marboh appears on TV for the longest!
