Nissan is the name of the car company in Japan, when Nissan started importing cars in the early 60's Nissan was too Japanese so they called them Datsun's so Americans would buy them.

Sure, once Nissan admits that it once made bicycles, then I'm all in. I'm starting to hate a mystery

I don't think they ever "made" bicycles. Just like Firestone or Western Auto never made bicycles. They might have but were probably keeping up with the other large Japanese industrial companies. Fuji Heavy Industires(parent of Subaru) actually made bikes, Panasonic didn't but there are some great bikes with that name. Bridgestone(japanese) hired people to design bikes and then had them built.

I think Yama and Nissan combination are moreover generic names used, perhaps, by a corporate importer. I'd be checking for which Japanese company made the lugs and frame which if aluminum it would likely say so. While it appears like a high quality bike, those silver decals or more likely stickers, stickers kind of give it away as a lower priced import. Pretty much has everything ya might want, looks, style, and shifters in the bar ends. But something ya might have found at a large retail like Sears . Seems your parents got the right idea, checked the market, bikes shops and stuff and happened to find yours at a nice, lower price point. And, per your experience, did a good job at it too. Find that japan frame and you get your answers. IDK why b/c I know very little about imports but soon as I saw your photos, and silver , genetic stickers Nishiki bell keeps ringing. Yet, IDK why because, actually, i have no clue to base who did it. Regardless, concentrate in time range made, me dinks you'll find the actual maker, for its frame.
