Crystar Kōki Seisakusho (クリスター光機製作所) was a Japanese camera maker, based in Tokyo.[1] It released the Crystar Flex in 1953, then became K.K. Crystal (株式会社クリスタル) in 1954 and remained active at least until 1955.
Not all cameras called Crystar were made by this company, and the Crystar 45 TLR was made by Ōshiro Seisakusho. It is not known whether the "Hit"-type Crystar camera is related to Crystar Kōki.
