EK Japan Co., Ltd. is a Japanese electronics kit manufacturer founded on August 19, 1994, and has been a pioneer in the educational electronics business since 1973. Based in Dazaifu-city, Fukuoka, Japan, the company operates under the ELEKIT brand, developing, manufacturing, and selling electronic DIY kits with the concept of 'cultivate a heart of science.' Their product portfolio includes vacuum tube amplifier kit series, craft kits, robotic kits, soldering kits, module series, and solar-powered kits, primarily targeting educational and hobbyist markets.
