The company Shinkō (新光) was mentioned in the "Kokusan shashinki no genjōchōsa" ("Inquiry into Japanese cameras"), listing the Japanese camera production as of April 1943. It was certainly called Shinkō Seiki (perhaps 新光精機): this name is written on the shutter plate of a Rorox.[1] It made the Shinko Baby or Rorox and certainly also the Shinkoflex and the Shinko Super.[2]
