The Ami (アミーカメラ) was a 6×4.5 folder sold by Tōkyō Shashin Shōkai (東京写真商会, i.e. "Tokyo photography trading") in 1941–2. It had a folding finder, an Ami f/3.5 75mm lens and an Ami shutter with speeds of 1–200.
The Ami was advertised in the March 1942 issue of Hōdō Shashin (報道写真) for ¥115, together with the Sintax as a more expensive alternative.
In the early 1950s, there was an Amiflex 6×6 TLR; it is unknown if the two cameras are related.
