Tokyo Rentals was founded in april 2003 as Tokyo エディット有限会社 and started HD broadcast editing in Roppongi. The company moved to Setagaya-ku in 2007 and was renamed and the company registration changed to Tokyo Rentals 有 限会社 in 2016, moving away from editing to do more broadly business in renting – with a license for both two wheel vehicles as well as broadcast rentals – as in HD / 4K / 8K broadcast equipment rentals and from time to time also sales of rental equipment.

Now, in 2025 the equipment focus finally changed, all former Live HD field and studio camera chains including the 8x Ikegami 8K SHK-810 chains have been sold and main focus now is sale / in-house refurbishing of mostly HD / 4K / 4K+ B4 mount lenses from Canon – with some occasional Cine Lenses as well as Fujinon B4 lenses in between – and supporting gear like the Vinten Quattros / Ospreys and Vector 70/700/950 range tripod heads.

We sell around 10 to 15 B4 mount lenses monthly to worldwide dealers, usually from HD / 4K ENG via midrange CJ45 to box lenses like UA107 and UJ86x. We are also always open to purchase Canon items from HD B4 lens parts, zoom & focus demands to quantities of HD / 4K box & ENG B4 mount lenses, perfectly working lenses as well as lenses in need of repair and also severely broken lenses where we still might be able to use at least parts to repair other lenses where no more new spare parts are available.

Finally, as we intend to go into semi retirement from spring next year rentals has already almost ceased and as of october 1st, 2025 we have no plans to keep equipment rentals up anymore.
