1925 Abe-Kawachi flight

A bit of background history before question:

In 1925 Japanese newspaper company funded purchase of two Breguet XIX planes for the purpose of promotional record flight from Tokyo to Paris and London. They got planes named Hatsukaze and Kochikaze and regisrations J-KIRI and J-KIKU



I'm making a recolor of one of Brunos Breguets to those colors and two things I can't make-Japanese names of those planes painted in Japanese characters under pilots cockpits and (what I'm assuming) a newspaper logo painted on upper wing surfaces where normally Hinomaru discs were.

I'm hoping someone has a bit more info and can help me with procuring those.

Asahi Shimbun newspaper is still around (they funded planes),unfortunately they didn't respond to my email.
