Kawasaki Kisen K.K. formed 1919 and part of the
Kawasaki Jukogyu K.K. group with the flag being used by group. Some sources
between the world wars show a red flag with a white K but the company confirms
that it never existed.

By 1970 Kotani Kisen K.K. appears to have become
Osaka Senpaku K.K. and going by their funnel markings the flag was retained
although it may now be no longer used as the company is now part of Mitsui OSK
Lines Ltd.

Kyoei Tanker K.K. incorrectly shows the flag of
Kyokuyo Hogei K.K. The flag for this company, which dates from 1949, is white
with two narrow horizontal red bands and a thicker vertical red band.
