The DKB Group (第一勧銀グループ Dai'ichi Kangin Gurūpu ) or the Dai-Ichi Kangyo Group is the largest Japanese keiretsu.[1]
The group emerged after World War II and coalesced around the Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank. The group's presidents began Sankin-kai (三金会 ) meeting regularly in 1971. Also that year the group's name developed from the merger of Dai-Ichi Bank and Nippon Kangyo Bank.[1] In 1998, an announcement was made that the Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank was to be merged with Fuji Bank and the Industrial Bank of Japan to form Mizuho Financial Group.[2] The resulting group which was established in September 2000,[3] made it the largest banking group in the world with assets of 140 trillion yen.[2][4] The next few years saw a parallel consolidation of their keiretsu industrial partners,[2] and saw the group grow to 150 trillion yen in assets (30% GDP).[3]
