They might design some and some come directly from the catalogs of some big parts manufacturers in Taiwan and possibly China. Yokozuna is most definitely NOT the manufacturer of Shimano D/A pad holders.
So they own Phil Wood? Nitto? Tange? Sugino? Dia-Compe? Sturmey-Archer?
According to MSC's own website, MSC is a
distributor. In addition to Yokozuna, the also distribute the brands I listed above--and about 50 others. What evidence do you have that Yokozuna "definitely" didn't make the Dura Ace brake shoe holders?. And if not, I have no doubt you can tell us who did.
