Efini was the luxury brand of Mazda, similar to what GM does with Cadillac. They had the same models, but with various upgrades. IIRC all the Efini dealerships in Japan are now closed.

From Wikipedia:
I had an Efini emblem on my FD back in the day. looked like this:
In the late 1980s, Mazda diversified in the Japan market with the launch of three new marques. The company created Autozam, Eunos, and Ẽfini, in addition to the Mazda and Ford brands already marketed there. This experiment was ended in the mid-1990s.
The Ẽfini name and logo originated in several limited-edition RX-7s from the late 1980s. As a brand, it encompassed most, if not all dealers formerly under Mazda's "Auto" dealer chain.
The Ẽfini marque was a sport-oriented brand, as opposed to the more comfortable, luxury-oriented Eunos. Today, Mazda continues to use the Ẽfini name as one of the company's dealership chains, along with Autozam, but the vehicles sold no longer use it. This included the following vehicles:
1990-1997 Efini MPV/Mazda MPV
1991-1993 Efini MS-6/Mazda Cronos
1992-1997 Efini MS-8 car unique to the brand
1991-1993 Efini MS-9/Mazda 929
1991-1996 Efini RX-7/Mazda RX-7

Flip it clockwise and it looks like a wicked "8" symbol, kinda what some of the honda kids used to do with the "A" logo from Acura. Maybe I should do it NGO, just to be original. The ricer in me is starting to kick in again!
