SANKYO Launches the “SANKYO Online Museum” Website

SANKYO Co., Ltd. (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Toshio Ogura) launched the “SANKYO Online Museum” website on Thursday, May 14, 2026. The “SANKYO Online Museum” is a newly renewed version of the SANKYO fan site, created as part of the KUGITAMA Project to communicate the history and culture of the company and the amusement machine industry. The site features a museum-inspired design and structure, offering a wide range of content for people interested in the history of amusement machines and specific models, as well as those who want to learn pachinko and pachislot terminology and how to play. Nanami Kiryu, the navigator of the SANKYO fan site, also appears as acting museum director wearing the “SANKYO Online Museum” uniform. Main contents include: 1. SANKYO History: A chronological introduction to the history of the company and the amusement machine industry, allowing visitors to rediscover the appeal of pachinko and pachislot through nostalgic memories and new discoveries. 2. Machine Collection: A comprehensive archive of amusement machines released by the SANKYO Group. Machines that have been turned into simulator games can also be played directly. As of May 14, 2026, more than 800 machines are listed. 3. SANKYO Investigation Team / Special Exhibitions: The existing “SANKYO Investigation Team” content continues, while a new “Special Exhibitions” feature will present site content grouped by theme. The first planned exhibition is “P Fever Queen II.” 4. Beginner’s Iroha: The popular “Beginner’s Iroha” and “Beginner’s Course” have been integrated and renewed, offering more than 350 Q&A items and gameplay lessons for learning the basics of pachinko and pachislot. 5. SANKYO Characters: Introduces a variety of original characters, including popular company characters such as Drum-kun and Mumu-chan. 6. SANKYO Goods and Content Information: Lists various consumer goods and content themed around SANKYO Group amusement machines, including items available through FEVER STORE. 7. Lounge: Visitors can enjoy real-machine simulator games released on the “KUGITAMA” special site, as well as the fan site content “Probability Fortune-Telling,” within the same site. The “KUGITAMA” Project aims to communicate to society the original fun of pachinko created by “nails and balls.” Through this project, SANKYO seeks to help halt the decline in the player population and pass pachinko on to the next generation as an accessible form of popular entertainment culture.
