Aires — in Japanese アイレス Airesu (like "eye-rescue" minus the "cue"); more fully アイレス写真機製作所 Airesu shashinki seisakusho — was a Japanese manufacturer of a number of 35mm and roll film cameras.

As Yallu Optical Co Ltd (ヤルー光学, Yarū Kōgaku), the company started in 1949 to produce the Yallu Flex, a 35mm TLR influenced by the Zeiss Contaflex, which was available in Japan at a very high price and was of particular interest in view of the patchy availability of roll film. The Yallu Flex was ingeniously and elegantly designed and was well equipped and appealingly advertised, but in the end it was never offered for sale. About fifty were produced.

Later cameras bore the name Aires.
