Good try but a lot more obscure than that...

Is the manufacturer better recognized in the aviation arena?

I'm not totally sure of this company's other activities at the time but I'm fairly sure aviation was not among them

Neither Prince nor Hino.
It's considerably more obscure...

Again I'm not 100% sure of all this company's activities at the time; but if there was a motor cycle connection I'm not aware of it

Idemitsu is of course better known for its oils

Why did Idemitsu make this car? Were they thinking about starting up their own car factory?
Is this the only road car they ever made? Where was the car made in Japan?

I'm afrad I only have a Japanese-language clipping for this car. Quite a few prototypes were made around this period (as the 'K' class was formed) so I'd guess it was one of those
