Hinomaru Kisen K.K. appears to cease to be an independent owner by 1970 being involved in a joint venture with Nippon Yusen Kaisha for a little while after.

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.

Inui Kisen K.K. still trades under its own name as a subsidiary of Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd.
