Literal translation "Japanese Optical Company". Was the company that created the Nikon camera. Later changed it's name to Nikon Inc.

Their early products were microscopes and binoculars. Later they made lenses for Canon and later for Leica cameras before they decided to design their own rangerfinder camera the Nikon One in 1959.
