Astroll Co., Ltd. (株式会社アストロール), headed by Junichi Mizutari (水足淳一), was originally established on April 28, 1977, as 有限会社ユニック (Unic? Unique?). It became Astroll in June 1997. [1]

The company profile linked above does not mention anything about Lenar Co., Ltd. (株式会社レナール). It apparently had its own website [2], so it likely was a separate company.
