Nippon or Nihon (日本) is a Japanese word meaning "Japan", hence it is quite frequent in the names of Japanese companies or products. See the following:

• Nippon Kōgaku, the old name of Nikon
• Nippon Camera, the old name of Nicca
• the Nippon Camera, a 4.5×6 rangefinder camera with a focal plane shutter, made in 1936–7
• the Nippon Camera, a Leica copy by Seiki Kogaku (the predecessor of Nippon Camera and Nicca)
• Nihon Kōki, a camera maker
• Nippon Kōken, a camera maker
• Nihon Shōkai, a distributor
• in the 1990s and 2000s, very low quality fake SLRs, presumably made in China, were sold under the name Nippon (see this page at Alfred Klomp's camera site)
