1923
The founder, Toshiro Kamoi, established "Kamoi Fly Catch Paper Works." The product was named "Kamoi's Haitori-gami (fly catch paper)" (flat type) and the trademark was decided to be a "rising sun" when delivering products to the market. The following year, we started exports to Southern Asian areas and North and South America, in addition to Korea, Manchuria, and Taiwan.

We developed and manufactured "Kirimetsu" and a new drug product, "BHC," in addition to Flat" and "Ribbon" fly catch paper. "Kamoi's Big Four Insecticides" were well received.

After that, we released a variety of tape utilizing Kamoi's adhesive technologies, including "craft adhesive tape" using craft paper as a base material, a long seller product "Kamoi's sealing tape," "heat resistive tape for painting" using crape paper as a base material, and "Kabuki," a new masking tape for automobiles.
