Daidō Seikō (大同精工), the predecessor of Takane, brought out the Daido Six in December 1953. This was a rangefinderless folder whose body was based on that for the Mihama Six. It had two finders, for 6×6 and 6×4.5; and two windows for film numbers. Like all its successors, the Daido came with a 75mm f3.5 lens; this one was from a dealer in Ikebukuro (Tokyo) and was named "Daido"; it had front-cell focussing. The NKS shutter provided for speeds of 1–200 and B.
Two variants have been observed:
- top plate somewhat rounded, engraved Daido Model I (pictured in McKeown, see also the Japan Family Camera link)
- top plate with a squarer shape, engraved Daido Six Model II (for sale at a dealer), no other difference visible
The Daido Six was advertised in the December 1953 issue of Asahi Camera for ¥9,000.
Daidō brought out the Daido Semi at the same time as the Daido Six. This was a simplified and cheaper version, for 6×4.5 only.
The successor of these two cameras would be the Sisley 55.
