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 a transmitter device with a gun trigger to act as the throttle, which later became a popular fixture in radio controlled transmitters.{{cite web|url=http://www.ymr.no/historie.htm|title=Modellbilens historie|work=ymr.no}}{{cite web|url=http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5886|title=RC10Talk.com – View topic – A comprehensive history of Ko Propo EX1 (1982–2002)|work=rc10talk.com}}
