Tokyo Senpaku K.K. dates from 1949 as either a rename or a re-formation of Nanyo Kaiun K.K. Declared bankrupt in 1984 it has survived as a subsidiary of Nippon Yusen Kaisha and the colours are apparently still used (as of 2001).

Tokyo Tanker K.K. was formed 1951 as a joint venture by Caltex Oil and Nihon Sekiyu K.K. becoming a full subsidiary of the latter at a later date, and in due course of Nisseki-Mitsubishi. The black lettering is edged white from the red star.
