The Tsubasa (ツバサ) is perhaps a Japanese subminiature camera. It is only mentioned in the official list of set prices compiled in October 1940 and published in January 1941, where it is classified in the same category as the Mycro and New Midget II, for ¥19.[1] Its existence is not confirmed, and the document might contain a mistake or a confusion with medium-format cameras made by Kigawa under the Tsubasa brand.
