No, the current Japanese-made Briggs models [actually a Joint Venture with Daihatsu] are the Vanguard twin cylinder models; this one's US-made.
Wikipedia actually has an article with a good precis of the history of this setup and the Mitsubishi arrangement; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Briggs_%26_Stratton
