Fuji Kōgaku is a Japanese camera maker that was active before the war. Its full name was first Fuji Kōgaku Kikai Seisakusho (富士光学器械製作所), then Fuji Kōgaku Kōgyō K.K. (富士光学工業株式会社, Fuji Optical Industries Co Ltd). The short name used by the company in some ads was 富士光 (Fujikō). The distributor of the Fujikō cameras was Fuji Kōgaku Shōji K.K. (富士光学商事株式会社), at least in 1941 and 1942[1]. It seems that it was related to the other well known Fuji company.
The company logo was FUJI KŌGAKU written in a cemented doublet lens scheme (a type of logo used by many other optical companies). There was a protuberance on top of the logo, maybe an allusion to the Mount Fuji.
Various Japanese websites (see here, here and here) say that the company became Taisei Koki after the war. Indeed the logo used by Taisei Koki is similar to the Fujikō one.
