**Takara Tomy Arts Co., Ltd. (President: Toshihisa Kondo / Location: Katsushika-ku, Tokyo, a Takara Tomy Group company) will launch the Character Bakery 'Nui-pan' series, a line of plush toys designed with a 'bread' motif, as a mobile unmanned sales service PIMT-0 'Nui-pan SHOP Mobility' starting Monday, April 6, 2026, in the post-security area (international flights) of Narita International Airport Terminal 1.** 'Nui-pan' is a series project launched by Takara Tomy Arts based on the idea, 'What wonderful bread could we make if we used our favorite characters as a motif?' The 'bread plushies,' which are plush toys designed as various characters in the form of bread, have been praised for their pursuit of realism in bread design and the use of multiple materials to replicate different textures. Since its launch in February 2025, it has become a fast-growing brand with over 70 different items in the series as of March 2026. The PIMT-0 'Nui-pan SHOP Mobility' is a specially decorated machine exclusively for 'Nui-pan', using the mobile unmanned sales robot 'PIMT-0' operated by PIMTO Inc. (President & CEO: So Kaiba / Location: Sumida-ku, Tokyo). This is also the first official operation for 'PIMT-0'. Until now, 'Nui-pan' has been primarily sold at specialty stores, mass retailers, and online shops, but this initiative expands its reach to new sales channels. Past demonstration experiments of 'PIMT-0' at Narita International Airport revealed a tendency for users near the departure gates after security, especially inbound customers, to prefer products that give them a sense of 'modern Japan.' Taking into account the growing plush toy trend in Japan, 12 types of 'Nui-pan' were selected as the first batch of products to meet this need. As the 'Nui-pan' brand enters its second year, it will now be offered through the new sales channel of the mobile unmanned sales service PIMT-0 'Nui-pan SHOP Mobility'. The location is the post-security (international flights) area of Narita International Airport Terminal 1. Leveraging the characteristics of a mobile service, it will operate by flexibly moving its sales location according to the flow of people. This will allow customers in the departure area to purchase plush toys as souvenirs right up until they leave Japan. Furthermore, the PIMT-0 'Nui-pan SHOP Mobility' has a special pop decoration that makes it clear from a distance that 'Nui-pan' is being sold, making it visually enjoyable. From both the product and the machine design, it provides a moment for users, including foreign visitors, to enjoy Japanese culture and shopping right before departure. We will develop the PIMT-0 'Nui-pan SHOP Mobility' as the first product in our collaboration with the mobile unmanned sales robot 'PIMT-0' provided by PIMTO Inc., and plan to sequentially offer products tailored to the location and user needs. We will continue to develop products that meet user needs and work with PIMTO Inc. to create new purchasing value. Please look forward to the new form of shopping being pioneered by Takara Tomy Arts × 'PIMT-0'. ### ****
