I'll second the suggestion this bike might be, like Nishiki, Kawamura-built, though I've never had a Kawamura-built bike with Shimano components until possibly last week when I bought a 1985 Centurion RS Elite with a K-prefix on the serial number.
What is the brake set, the levers look like the first Dura-Ace named brake parts, which later gave up their name to the upcoming very first Dura-Ace gruppo, and with the old brakes being re-named Tourney.
Again though, this bike totally seems to have Kawamura's style, making these especially good bikes to be sold in a department store!
