In 1933, Canon's predecessor, Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory, is founded in Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, to conduct research into quality cameras. In 1934, the Kwanon, Japan's first 35 mm focal-plane-shutter camera, is produced in prototype form. In 1935, the company files for registration of the "Canon" trademark and the Hansa Canon, a 35 mm focal-plane-shutter camera, is introduced. In 1947, the company becomes Canon Camera Co., Inc.
