Heart Sangyō K.K. (ハート産業㈱, Hāto Sangyō K.K.) was a Japanese camera maker in the mid-1950s. It was mentioned as the maker of the Stereo Leader in a 1956 advertisement; previous advertisements for the same model were listing the maker as Tōgōdō Sangyō.^[1] It is not known if the production of the camera was transferred to Heart Sangyō, or if this was a sub-contractor of Tougodo from the start. The address in 1956 was Meguro-ku Mita 54 (目黒区三田54).^[2]
