PART I  

ITEM 1. EXCHANGE ACT REPORTING HISTORY                                          

A. Ricoh Company, Ltd. (the "Registrant") first incurred the duty to file 
reports under Section 13(a) or Section 15 (d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934 (the "Exchange Act") on or about August 1, 1980, the approximate date that 
its registration statement on Form S-1 was declared effective by the Securities 
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission").                                     

B. The Registrant has filed or submitted all reports required under       
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the corresponding        
Commission rules for the 12 months preceding the filing of this Form 15F. The   
Registrant has filed at least one annual report on Form 20-F under              
Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act.                                              

ITEM 2. RECENT UNITED STATES MARKET ACTIVITY                                    

The Registrant's securities were last sold in the United States in a      
registered offering under the Securities Act of 1933, in August 1980.           

ITEM 3. FOREIGN LISTING AND PRIMARY TRADING MARKET                              

 A. The Registrant has maintained a listing of its common stock on the First
Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (the "TSE"), in Tokyo, Japan, and certain   
other stock exchanges in Japan. The TSE constitutes the primary trading market  
for the Registrant's common stock, as that term is defined in Rule 12h-6 under  
the Exchange Act.                                                               

B. The Registrant's common stock was initially listed on the TSE in May   
1949. The Registrant has maintained the listing of its common stock on the TSE  
since that date, including during the 12 months preceding the filing of this    
Form 15F.                                                                       

 C. The percentage of trading in the Registrant's common stock that occurred
in Japan on the TSE for the 12-month period from January 1, 2013 to             
December 31, 2013 (both dates inclusive) was 99.96% of the worldwide trading    
volume of such securities.                                                      

ITEM 4. COMPARATIVE TRADING VOLUME DATA                                         

 A. The 12-month period used to meet the requirements of Rule 12h-6(a)(4)(i)
started on January 1, 2013 and ended on December 31, 2013 (the "Applicable      
Period").                                                                       

B. The average daily trading volume ("ADTV") of the Registrant's common   
stock in the United States for the Applicable Period (including off-exchange    
and on-exchange transactions) was 2,235 shares. The ADTV of the Registrant's    
common stock on a worldwide basis for the Applicable Period was 6,338,904       
shares.                                                                         

C. The ADTV of the Registrant's common stock in the United States for the 
Applicable Period was 0.04% of the ADTV of its common stock on a worldwide      
basis for the Applicable Period.

D. The Registrant's common stock is not listed on any national securities 
exchange or interdealer quotation system in the United States.                  

E. The Registrant has not terminated its sponsored American Depositary    
Receipt ("ADR") facility regarding its common stock.                            

  F. The source of the trading volume information used for determining whether
the Registrant meets the requirements of Rule 12h-6 is Bloomberg L.P. with      
respect to on-exchange and off-exchange transactions in the United States.      
Information from the TSE and information from the Osaka Securities Exchange     
(published before its integration with the TSE) are the sources of the trading  
volume information with respect to on-exchange transactions on such exchanges   
(information with respect to off-hours trading transactions on such exchanges   
being unavailable on Bloomberg L.P.).

As of December 31, 2013, there are no record holders of the 6 5/8%        
Convertible Debentures Due 1995 as all such debentures have matured.            

ITEM 7. NOTICE REQUIREMENT

Exchange Act, by means of press releases issued on January 31, 2014.            

B. The press releases described above were disseminated by major newswire

The undersigned issuer hereby undertakes to withdraw this Form 15F if, at 
any time before the effectiveness of its termination of reporting under Rule    
12h-6, it has actual knowledge of information that causes it reasonably to

  (1) The average daily trading volume of its subject class of securities in
 the United States exceeded 5 percent of the average daily trading
    volume of that class of securities on a worldwide basis for the same
recent 12-month period that the issuer used for purposes of Rule
12h-6(a)(4)(i);                                                 

(2) Its subject class of securities was held of record by 300 or more   
       United States residents or 300 or more persons worldwide, if proceeding
under Rule 12h-6(a)(4)(ii) or Rule 12h-6(c); or                 

(3) It otherwise did not qualify for termination of its Exchange Act    
reporting obligations under Rule 12h-6.
