The Dorima Six (ドリマーシックス) is a Japanese 6×6 folding camera, attributed to Tōkyō Kōki, the maker of the similarly named Dorimaflex.[1] "Dorima" (ドリマー) is certainly a phonetic adaptation of the English word "dreamer".
The Dorima Six was briefly announced in a column of the April 1954 issue of Ars Camera.[2] It is said to take both 6×6cm and 4.5×6cm exposures, to have an uncoupled rangefinder, a Dorima 80/3.5 lens and a synchronized shutter (B, 1–200, self-timer).[3]
No picture of the camera has been observed so far, and no surviving example is known yet.
