Banno is a Japanese personal name written 伴野; another possible reading of the same characters is "Tomono". All the following company names are written in kanji characters in the original sources, and any of them might actually read "Tomono" instead of "Banno". It is not known if there is a relationship between the four companies listed below in chronological order of apparition.

Banno Shōten

Banno Shōten (伴野商店) was a sales company which advertised Goerz cameras in 1922.

Banno Bunzaburō Shōten

Banno Bunzaburō Shōten (伴野文三郎商店) was a sales company in the early 1930s, which sold the Pathé Baby movie camera.

Banno Bōeki

Banno Bōeki K.K. (伴野貿易株式会社) was a Japanese trading company, with addresses in Tokyo (Ginza), Osaka, Dalian and Shenyang (the latter two in China).[1] Its name is translated as "Banno Trading Co." in Sugiyama.[2]

The company was certainly the owner of the "Alma" brand; in the late 1930s and early 1940s, it distributed Alma still cameras, movie cameras and movie projectors. It also distributed various other cameras in the same period.

Banno Toyoji Shōten

Banno Toyoji Shōten (伴野豊治商店) was a camera shop in the early 1940s. Its name appears in the official price list dated November 1941 about the Semi Elka camera.[11] The company perhaps also made or sold the Elka shutter, and the TB logo found on some of these might correspond to Toyoji Banno. The company was advertising the Fuji Kōgaku Lyra cameras in February 1944.[12] The address at the time was Nihonbashi-ku Dōri 2–2 in Tokyo (東京都日本橋区通二ノ二).
