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.
