Since always.

They are part of the Fuji Heavy Industries.

Fun fact:
Subaru:
Adopted in March 1958, Subaru refers to a group of stars also known by its original Japanese name, mutsura-boshi, or series of six stars. This group of stars-known in Western countries as the Pleiades-belongs to the Taurus constellation and is the basis of the Subaru trademark. Subaru automobiles were the first to bear a name derived from the Japanese language.


You are probably thinking that because of the Subaru OUTBACK, they were associated with the Outback of Australia...no?
