About "Tomica"
Tomica, launched in 1970, is Japan's first series of palm-sized, die-cast mini-cars of domestic vehicles. Born from a passionate desire to let "Japanese children play with mini-cars of more familiar domestic cars" at a time when foreign mini-cars dominated the market, it is now loved by three generations. To date, over 10,000 types have been released domestically and internationally, with cumulative sales exceeding 1 billion units (as of December 2024).

About "Plarail"
A long-selling railway toy that celebrated its 65th anniversary in 2024, it is a brand loved by three generations. The prototype for "Plarail" was the "Plastic Train & Rails Set," released in 1959 as a toy made from plastic, the latest material at the time, when toys made of metal and wood were mainstream. The iconic blue rails were designed to be the right size to play with on a "chabudai" (low dining table) where families would gather, and this standard has remained unchanged for over 60 years. In Japan, cumulative sales have reached over 217.4 million units across 1,953 types (as of the end of December 2025).
