Good looking filter!
Replaced with a Baldwin B1400 filter and D-A Lubricants / PennGrade1 V2 10W-40.
Reminds me of two longer filters with the M20-1.5 thread; Full's 2-OSB007 and Mitsubishi's MZ690072. All three have blue silicone ADBVs, round black seal, similar-looking 8-inlet baseplates, and a small single-line date code on the dome. However, both of these filters I pulled out to look at are made in Thailand.
Last time I bought an OEM Toyota filter it was also a Denso made in Thailand. I am guessing they’re similar construction made in Thailand and made in China.

Looks to be a pretty decent little filter, thanks for the C&P. My Kawasaki STX15f runs pretty much the same filter. I want to say a few years the manufacturer or build may have been a bit different. I remember buying an OEM Kawasaki filter for my jet ski and thinking, "What a POS filter." Felt light in the hands, not super clean, things like that. I switched over to Wix before the MANN+Hummel acquisition, and now onto a larger CarQuest filter.
It also looks identical to the Toyota OEM filters made by Denso. Like other Densos, I still don't know what I think about the whole catridge filter in a can approach.

Very much. Which looks Roki-like. Heck, Roki makes most of the OEM Mazdas and they have black cans like the Subarus....
Topic is interesting in that it's a China made Denso with silicone adbv and typical Toyota Thai Denso OEM construction. Not to be confused with the Denso (FTF), First Time Fit also made in China that uses metal endcaps coil compression spring, and nitrile adbv. I'd add agreeing with @ZeeOSix, I wouldn't expect topic to be very efficient.
Thanks for c&p.

I wonder if this factory in China is a little too over achieving with the pleats. They are very well glued together at the top and bottom. Maybe too well, it seems the lack of side gap limits flow more to the very end area of the V in the pleats? Usually Toyota filters there is a very small gap filled with glue top and bottom. So there is some space for flow.
I was thinking the same thing, quite a tight channel to negotiate, especially with the pressure in the can pushing the folds together. The VVTi on my Yaris didn't work with this filter construction, I had to source the Lexus foam media style (that came on the engine from Japan) to not have VVT chattering, major loss of torque and excessive VT noise.
The reason I came to this forum for answers and I have had no answers in the 20 years I've been on here. So I am stuck with my own reasoning.
Looks like filter media wasn't glued to the metal, but yet there was no spring? Just the compression on the bypass metal, I guess. But maybe the media ends are glued together? This filter confuses me.

That bypass "pedestal" works as a leaf spring the assembly stack is likely a few MM proud and when the can is closed the pedestal leaves flare to to the compression. The filter folds are glued closed at the top and bottom gaps, and I am guessing that the glue around the core tube provides a seal at the dome end, along with some added gasketing effect at the base end by the ADBV.
Filter "professional" feel free to add to or correct this old mechanical engineer with failing eyesight
Yes, each pleat end is glued shut. Typical for all filters constructed like this (ie, Toyota filters the same construction).
