The Mighty is a Hit-type camera for 17.5mm paper-backed roll film, made in the late 1940s and early 1950s by Tōkō Shashin.
Compared to other Hits it has several advantages: 3 f-stops (f/4.5 , f/6.3 and f/8), two finders (one of reflecting type), and an optional tele-converter. Maybe its name derives from its "mighty" looking when the converter is used. Other attributes are standard: non-focusable 25mm lens, 14×14mm frame size, and B and I mode as shutter settings. The camera is usually marked "MADE IN OCCUPIED JAPAN".
