Although Yaesu today is not owned by the corporate giant called Motorola any more and back in 2013 they sold Yaesu back to the original Japan base company thing have never been the same.
OK, this is not exactly right.
Yaesu was officially known as "Vertex Standard" since around 2000, when they changed their name from "Yaesu Musen" (or whatever the official name was). Vertex was their two way radio brand, "Yaesu" was their ham radio brand, "Horizon" or "Standard Horizon" was their marine brand.
In 2008, Motorola acquired 80% of "Vertex Standard" (or Yaesu, as shown above). Then, in 2012, Motorola and Vertex Standard created "Vertex Standard LMR, Inc.", which Motorola owned entirely, leaving the ham radio, aviation, and marine divisions to Tokogiken (the company that had been the 20% owner).
So, on Jan 1 2012, Motorola Solutions became sole owner of Japanese based Vertex Standard LMR, and Tokogiken created a new company called "YAESU MUSEN CO.,LTD"
So, the "ham radio" Yaesu was 80% owned by Motorola for around 4 years, from 2008 to 2012 (since "Yaesu" was wholly owned by Vertex Standard). Now Yaesu is again a separate company, but they do not make LMR equipment any more.
Some links to look at and see if it makes any sense:

If you notice the history graphs, both Yaesu Musen and Vertex Standard claim the same historical timeline up to 2012.
