Dive into Fun with Toyo's New Plushie
As summer approaches, the excitement of summer festivals fills the air, bringing a wave of nostalgia and joy to everyone.
Toyo Corporation, led by CEO
Hideo Nakamura, is all set to enhance these cherished memories with an exciting new addition to its
Everyday Original Prize series: the
Squid Plushie. This delightful creation showcases all the beloved elements of summer carnival treats with a whimsical twist.
A Playful Design Inspired by Summer Festivals
The
Squid Plushie, inspired by the popular summertime street food, presents a humorous and charming interpretation of a traditionally grilled squid. Measuring approximately
70cm, this plushie is designed for hugging and cuddling, making it a perfect companion for both children and adults. Its lovable design, rounded and inviting, brings a playful spirit that will instantly brighten up any room.
Adding to its charm, the plushie features the delightful face of
Tore, an original character that captures the imagination. Tore is an alien being known for its unique speech patterns, often ending sentences with “
トレ”, which adds a playful, quirky element to its personality. This character not only enhances the plushie's appeal but also connects it to the broader narrative of joy and creativity that defines Toyo’s ethos:
“Creating Smiles”.
More Than Just a Plushie
The squid plushie is not just a toy; it serves as a delightful piece of decor or a comforting pillow for those lazy summer afternoons. It's designed to bring the fun of summer festivals right into your home, allowing everyone to relive those joyful moments at any time.
The Character: Tore
Tore, the charming alien, hails from a distant planet where it floats around without limbs. Despite this, it has developed a fascinating ability to pick up objects using crane-like arms that extend from its skirt. This unique design allows Tore to help with various tasks, adding a whimsical narrative to the plushie. Currently, there are five color variations of Tore—
red, blue, green, yellow, and
pink—with the red variety tending to exhibit a leadership quality, making it particularly reliable.
This vibrant character, known for its omnipresent smile, adds an extra layer of excitement to the plushie, making it an endearing collectible that can be cherished for years to come.

Squid Plushie will officially launch on
