Japanese aftermarket steering wheels?

looking for some Japanese made after market steering wheels... I assumed there would be a few big companies around, seems i was very wrong, all i have found so far is TOM'S and a few other small ones, was kind of hoping for some with a huge range and history as momo, nardi ect. 
 
is my googlefu lacking or is there really bugger all in the way of japanese made steering wheels?

    I'm sure someone on here might be able to give you a better answer, but considering most restored cars these days rock Nardi classic wheels (I've got a Nardi competition on mine), and they look good, then why care if it's not JDM?

    Italian seems to be the way to go for steering wheels (Nardi, Momo).
     
    Other than Toms, there's TRD, but really JDM wise, not much else.

    Oh actually now that I think of it, Works, Personal, Watanabe had steering wheels put out, all were actually made in Italy though.

    its just weird, for a country to have such a large automotive market, with bugger all options of domestic after market steering wheels. mm guess i'll probably have to end up going outside of japan.
