Yes,Taiyo Juki (evidently their parent company was Miroku) made Bobcats(single shot)and Kingfishers(repeaters) that were very Crosman reminiscent. Cost around $80NZ to $120NZ at the time.Sold by PIC in the USA and the Crosman agent(Mitchells)in NZ.The Howa 55 and the Miroku Grand Slam II CO2 rifles were handsome brutes but like the Sharp GR75(.20 cal),very ammo sensitive.I found some locally made Winchester .22 dome-heads seemed to work in the force-fed magazines.The weird thing about these pellets was they seemed to most people to be sub .22(minimally)(made on old machines????),anyrate,they would fall through a 5.6mm barrel,no trouble.For some reason they seemed to suit the Howa magazine though.I bought the rifle second-hand for $120 and eventually traded it to Myron Kasok
It used a lot of CO2!.
