| − | '''Tōyō Kōki Seizō K.K.''' (東洋光機製造{{kabu}}), often cited as "Tōyō Kōki", was a Japanese company of the late 1930s and early 1940s, which made the [[Peacock]] 3×4cm cameras.<REF> The full name "Tōyō Kōki Seizō K.K." is given in the address list of the {{Inquiry1943_short}}, and in [http://kans1948.zero-yen.com/html/p108.html this page at Kan's Room]. {{Kokusan}}, p.339, says "Tōyō Kōki K.K." {{SUG}}, items 3044 and 4060, gives "Toyo Optical Works", a translation attempt. {{MK}}, p.933, says "Toyo Kogaku", surely a wrong back translation, and makes a confusion with the postwar [[Tōyō Kōki]] and with [[Tōkō|Tōkō Shashin]]. </REF> The company was based in Tokyo, Yodobashi.<REF> Its address in 1943 was Tōkyō-to Yodobashi-ku Nishi-Ochiai 2–531 (東京都淀橋区西落合2–531).

See also {{Kokusan}}, p.339. </REF> Tōyō Kōki was merged into Oriental in 1944, becoming its optical instruments branch (光機部門), dissolved in 1945.<REF> See [http://kans1948.zero-yen.com/html/p108.html this page at Kan's Room]. </REF>
