Our Legacy and Mission
70 Years of Legacy.
Global No.1.
— Your Trust, Our Pride.
Since 1953, GOKO has been a quiet yet influential force in the optical equipment industry, making a global impact behind the scenes.
-
8mm Film Editors:
GOKO developed the world’s first 8mm film editor compatible with both W8 and S8 formats, achieving the No.1 global market share. GOKO later pioneered flicker-free models and the world’s only recorder-editor for both film, narration, and sound effects, becoming the leading brand in the industry.
-
Compact Cameras:
At the time, cameras were primarily used in developed countries. Our founder, Tadashi Goto, envisioned “creating cameras for the 87% of the world’s population in developing countries”. Driven by this vision, GOKO independently developed compact cameras that were high-quality, affordable, and durable. Its groundbreaking Universal Focus system (patented globally) caught the attention of nearly every major Japanese camera brand, leading to OEM partnerships that drove annual production to a world-leading 4.2 million units ― a triumph of innovation and social contribution.
Today, GOKO develops and manufactures specialized microscopes for medical, life science, and industrial applications, delivering ultra-clear, high-magnification imaging. Through proprietary algorithms and software, GOKO supports image quantification, meeting the growing demands of the AI-era. As an independent SME based in Japan, GOKO is trusted by global universities and research institutions — not only for its standard models but also for its ability to provide custom-made solutions, even for a single unit. GOKO is also recognized for its precision manufacturing, flexible response to diverse needs, and sound financial management with an approximately 98% equity ratio and a debt-free structure.
