The club was founded in 1964 by the factory workers of Honda Lock Manufacturing Co., an affiliate company of Honda Motor. They were promoted to the Kyushu Regional League in 1997 and acquired official backing from the company in 1999. They won the Kyushu Regional League in 2004 and were accepted by the Japan Football League following the Regional League promotion series.

They spent two years in the JFL but were relegated to the Kyūshū Regional League for the 2007 season after they lost to F.C. Gifu in the promotion/relegation play-offs.

Honda Lock returned to the JFL in 2009 after placing third in the 2008 Regional League promotion series.

Honda Lock SC changed its name to Minebea Mitsumi FC ahead of 2023 season, with Japanese Multinational corporation and a major producer of machinery components and electronics devices MinebeaMitsumi, taking over the club. The deal was completed on 27 January 2023.[1] Regarding Honda Lock SC, Honda Lock Co. Ltd. a shareholder and MinebeaMitsumi Co.
