KO PROPO is a brand of radio control equipment and humanoid robot KHR-1 by Kondo Kagaku, established in Tokyo, Japan in 1945.

In 1982 KO PROPO introduced the Expert EX-1, reported to have been the first to integrate a pistol grip into transmitter device with a gun trigger to act as the throttle, which later became a popular fixture in radio controlled transmitters.[1][2]
