Endō[1] was a Japanese distributor at the beginning of the 1950s.
The first mention observed of the company is dated 1951. Until about April 1953 it was called Gōshi-gaisha Endō Kamera-ten (㈾遠藤カメラ店, i.e. Endō camera shop(s)) and was based in Itabashi (Tokyo).[2] It distributed the Semi Blond and Semi Frank 4.5×6 folders in 1951.[3] It was also the distributor of various goods with the brand name "Pigeon", such as the Pigeon 35 and Pigeonflex.
From about June 1953 it adopted the name Endō Shashin Yōhin K.K. (エンドー写真用品㈱, i.e. Endō photographic supplies) and moved to Kyōbashi (Tokyo).[4] It continued the sell the Pigeon products until at least 1956. It also briefly distributed the Rocky Semi 4.5×6 folder made by Umemoto in 1954.[5]
