Hidori Bicycle Co of Tokyo, Japan |
|---|
This is an advertisement for Hidori brand bicycles that appeared in the 1952 edition of the Japan Bicycle Guide on page 293. I am not certain that Hidori Bicycle Co was the maker, the assembler or the exporter. I did not know this company. The advert also includes mention of the Hidori hubs. [Hidori Bicycle]

Kuwahara Cycle Co., Ltd of Osaka, Japan (see the picture gallery) |
|---|
Marco Yokoyama was the export manager and a director of the company starting in the 1960`s. Marco`s charming wife, Sadako, was the daughter of the founder of the company. Kuwahara produced and exported bicycles to America, Canada, Australia and several other countries. Initially the bicycles were branded with the buyer`s brand (i.e. Schwinn, Apollo, Azuki, Takara, Puch, etc.). In the late 1970`s Marco approached Howie with the project of establishing & popularizing the brand name of Kuwahara. I worked closely with many individuals at the Kuwahara facilities including Deguchi-san, Takuo Kuwahara (the father of Takashi), Teichi Kuwahara, Koji Nishimura, KC Fukuda, Tachibana-san, Imafuji-san, and others to be named later with additional text and pictures. While visiting Japan, I would sometimes play tennis with Takuo`s wife, who was an excellent tennis player. Additional photos & text are pending. See the picture gallery. [Kuwahara Co Ltd]
