Iino Kaiun K.K. Formed 1918. The internal symbol vertical line is straight, not angled as shown. The flag was also used by Iino Kisen K.K. which as an associate company set up to own the dry cargo fleet of the group ready for the 1964 merger into Kawasaki Kisen K.K. Iino Kaiun K.K. at that stage operated tankers only and has continued as a separate identity in the Kawasaki group but now has a varied trade.

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.
