In 1933 Goro Yoshida and Saburo Ushida started Seiki Kogaku Kenkujo, company we now know as Canon. They set otu to produce the first 35mm camera made in japan[1]. The early models were known as Kwanon and are not attested after WWII but for magazine ads. They may never have left prototype level and were never marketed by Seiki Kogaku. One notable example survives in Canon's camera collection in Tokyo. A good source on Canon Rangefinders is Peter Decherts book, Canon rangefinder cameras 1933-1968, as you will note from the references.
