Kikōdō

Kikō-dō (暿光堂) was a Japanese distributor. In 1934, it asked Umemoto Kinzaburō (梅本金三郎) to set up a camera plant. That would be Umemoto Seisakusho, founded in 1935. It sold the cameras made by Umemoto at least until the war. Among them were a 6×6 folding camera called Makinet 6 (マキネット6) in 1936 and the Super Flex Baby from 1938 until at least 1942. Kikō-Dō was also an authorized dealer of the Wester or Semi Wester 4.5×6 folder by Nishida.

After the war, there was a company called Bikō-Dō Seisakusho (美光堂製作所) or Super Photo (スーパー写真), that made a series of 6×6 TLRs called Superflex, but it is probably unrelated.
