They were commonly known as "Bulldogs." However, I didn't particularly like them. The destination signs on the front and rear seem to use the same design. Yokohama City Transportation Bureau 0-2554 (Midori Depot Kawawa Branch) Mitsubishi K-MP107K (Kureha) 1980 model. The Yokohama City Transportation Bureau did not have any non-air-conditioned K-MP107K buses. The 'K-' at the beginning of the model number indicates that the vehicle complies with emission regulations. 'K-' indicates that the vehicle complies with the emission regulations of fiscal year 1979 (Showa 54). Back when information about buses was scarce, I never thought they were made by Kureha Motor Co., Ltd. in Toyama Prefecture (I thought they were made by Mitsubishi in Nagoya). I was surprised when I learned that Kureha also manufactured the same body in the bus specialty magazine "Bus Japan," which was first published in 1986.
