According to http://www.music-trade.co.jp/Fenderjapanserial.html

The Fender Japan guitar manufacturing contract was originally going to go to Tokai in
1981/1982 but at the last minute Fender choose Fujigen Gakki instead.
Some Fujigen made Fender replica between 1982 and 1997 have necks made by Atlansia.
Tokai and Dyna Gakki took over the production of the Fender Japan models from Fujigen
in 1996/1997. The Tokai made Fender Japan guitars are not exported from Japan but some
of the Dyna Gakki made Fender Japan guitars are exported.
Dyna Gakki have made various guitars for Kanda Shokai's Greco brand.
Terada made the Fender Japan acoustic guitars such as the Fender Catalina.

It comes from the interwebs so it MUST be true.

But of course!

If they're Tokais made for the Japanese market though they should be very nice.
