[Arunas]

Kaisinsha Dattogo?

nope.. I think not so obscure...

_{P.S. what is it? This Kaishina Dattogo}

[pnegyesi]

Kaisinsha was a distributor and assembler of British cars and produced a few cars of their own, called the Dattogo.

I am just running through all the pre 1st World War Japanese cars. This ain't no Mitsubishi Model A, so the predecessor of the Isuzu remains as my sole possibility.

Kunisue?

[Arunas]

The source I have taken this picture from is not very reliable and full of nonsenses, so the name given could be wrong, but still it's not Kunisue..

[Paul Jaray]

The last one, active pre-1920 (Yamaba apart) that I remember is Tokio, a 3.6 litre from 1910.

[pnegyesi]

Ishikawajima?

[Arunas]

The last one, active pre-1920 (Yamaba apart) that I remember is Tokio, a 3.6 litre from 1910.

And that's the name I was looking for! Is it really  a Tokio - I don't know, but one point goes to nobody else but PJ.

This is what I have about this:
Tokio (J) 1911-1912
4-cylinder model of 3656cc built in limited production in collaboration with Kunishue of Tokio.
