Mycro-sha (マイクロ社) was a Japanese company based in Tokyo, Kabuto-chō, in the late 1930s.[1] Its name appears on an October 1939 advertisement published for the release of the Mycro subminiature camera. This camera was manufactured by Akita Seisakusho, at least from 1941 onwards.[2] Mycro-sha might have been a predecessor to Akita, and the initial maker of the Mycro, but this is unconfirmed.
