Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

(a) Previous independent registered public accounting firm

(i)            On August 7,2006, Kyocera Mita America, Inc. Savings and Investment Plan (the “Plan”) in a letter notified PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) that PwC had been dismissed as the Plan’s independent registered public accounting firm effective February 2, 2006. The registrant’s Board of Directors approved the decision to change its independent registered public accounting firm.

(ii)           The audit reports of PwC on the Plan’s financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

(iii)          During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and through February 2, 2006, there were no disagreements with PwC on matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its reports on the financial statements for such fiscal years.

(iv)          There were no “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and through February 2, 2006.

Pursuant to Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Plan has provided PwC with a copy of the above disclosures and has asked PwC to provide it with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether PwC agrees with the Plan’s statements and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of PwC’s letter to the Commission is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

(b) New independent registered public accounting firm

(i)            On February 2, 2006, the Plan has engaged Eisner to serve as the Plan’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year that began January 1, 2005. During the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and through February 2, 2006, the Plan did not consult with Eisner regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Plan’s consolidated financial statements, or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
