A pioneer and leading company in the garage kit movement—a major figure trend that originated in the 1980s from independently produced, high-quality model kits—KAIYODO is a sculpting studio that has dramatically reshaped the direction and landscape of the modern figure and hobby industry.

In Japan, KAIYODO was the first to release a National Museum–approved collection of National Treasure figures, and its exceptional craftsmanship has been recognized for providing “archival value even in miniature form.” This level of technical expertise has earned global acclaim as well, leading to collaborations with world-renowned institutions such as the British Museum and the American Museum of Natural History.
