Koike Seiki K.K. (小池精機㈱) is mentioned by various sources as the maker of the Aruba 35 viewfinder cameras from 1952 to 1955.[1] The name KOIKESEIKI is engraved on the lens of the Aruba 35 II, but this attribution is otherwise unconfirmed.
Various companies called "Koike Seiki" seem to exist today, but none is related for sure with the camera maker.
