Special Feature: Doraemon

  • ● Doraemon Feature

    “Doraemon,” the representative work of Fujiko Fujio, began serialization in children’s magazines in 1969. With the release of the first tankōbon in 1974 and the TV Asahi anime broadcast starting in 1979, it gained explosive popularity and has become a beloved classic for fans in Japan and around the world. In fact, it was animated six years earlier by Nippon TV, but the series ended after six months due to the production company’s dissolution. Because of its tone differing from the original manga, it became a “sealed work” and has never been rebroadcast. For this reason, dolls and goods from the 1973 Nippon TV version are extremely rare and highly valuable today.
    ■ Doraemon Anime Cels and Drawings
    From regular TV episodes to specials, theatrical releases, and even a few “risqué” Shizuka-chan cels - a diverse lineup of Doraemon animation artwork.
    ■ Doraemon Posters
    A dazzling collection including theatrical posters spanning 45 years of Doraemon movies, product advertising posters, and unused calendar sheets featuring gorgeous and joyful designs.
    ■ Doraemon Magazines
    From the commemorative first appearance of “Doraemon” in school magazines, to Sunday magazine versions and the first issue of CoroCoro Comic - here lies the origin of a timeless masterpiece.

  • ● Producer Kiyoshi Suzuki Collection Vol. 3

    The popular collection series from producer Kiyoshi Suzuki, known for the Tsuburaya Ultraman series, continues with its third installment. With over 60 years in film production, Mr. Suzuki’s career spans far beyond Ultraman, encompassing a rich history of diverse works. This issue presents another fascinating selection of items that will make you exclaim, “He worked on this too?!” All items come directly from Mr. Suzuki’s personal collection.

  • ● Anime Cels & Original Drawings

    Background-attached cels from Studio Ghibli classics like “My Neighbor Totoro” and “Kiki’s Delivery Service” are endlessly captivating. Also featured are golden-age Jump titles such as “Dragon Ball,” “Saint Seiya,” “Fist of the North Star,” and “Kimagure Orange Road,” together with Sunday favorites like “Urusei Yatsura,” “Detective Conan,” and “Ghost Sweeper Mikami.” Add to that Leiji Matsumoto works, magical girl series, and “Sailor Moon”-a truly all-star gathering.

  • ● Hand-Drawn Illustrations

    In line with the Doraemon feature, we present hand-drawn Doraemon-related works-not only by Fujiko F. Fujio himself, but also by former Fujiko Productions assistants, anime staff, voice actors, and even replica illustrations. Also included are works by Osamu Tezuka, Shōtarō Ishinomori, Leiji Matsumoto, Tetsuya Chiba, and many others of enduring popularity. Fan favorites like Akira Toriyama, Rumiko Takahashi, and Hideo Azuma appear alongside pieces by Hayao Miyazaki and Yasuo Ōtsuka. From tokusatsu toy artists to adult manga illustrators, the range is broad. A small special focuses on “Gagaga Bunko” authors. Autographed books at accessible prices also feature prominently.

  • ● Manga Volumes

    A random selection of 18 notable rental manga titles: Hiroo Terada’s “Mōretsu Sensei,” Kyūta Ishikawa’s “Shōnen Kenya,” Mitsuyoshi Sonoda’s “Iron Muscle,” Taka Saitō’s “Devil King,” Masako Watanabe’s “Yamabiko Shōjo,” and more.

  • ● Doujinshi (Fan Magazines)

    [Doraemon Feature]
    A selection including slightly risqué adult-oriented Shizuka-chan books, all-ages anthropomorphic Doraemon fanzines, reference-type doujinshi, and yaoi pairings (Gian × Nobita, Dekisugi × Nobita, etc.).

    [Bakusō Kyōdai Let’s & Go!! Parody Doujinshi Feature]
    Speaking of Doraemon, one thinks of CoroCoro Comics - and from CoroCoro came this title that captivated many female fans, sparking the second Mini 4WD boom.

  • ● Posters

    Rare overseas press posters produced by Toho, including classics like “Son of Godzilla,” “Destroy All Monsters,” and “Godzilla vs. Hedorah.” These stunning visuals capture Godzilla’s might rampaging across foreign lands - a true showcase of the power and charm of international promotion at the time.

  • ● Railway Goods

    Featuring destination boards and station nameplates from the JNR era, mainly from eastern Japan. Among them, the old commuter train headboard from Nakano-Mandarake’s hometown-is a particularly nostalgic piece.

  • ● Automotive Goods

    When thinking of vintage die-cast cars, names like DINKY, CORGI, SOLIDO, and SCHUCO come to mind. Following them are SPOT-ON and TEKNO - two distinct manufacturers that, despite seeming unrelated, share common roots in producing fire engines and commercial vehicles. SPOT-ON models (1/42 scale) are known for intricate detail, while TEKNO cars feature many moving parts - even disassembly/reassembly gimmicks like educational toys. Both enjoy high esteem among collectors. Enjoy this collection of slightly obscure but highly distinctive miniature cars.
