Super Baby Gorilla no Hitotsukami
Doshisha Co., Ltd., which plans, develops, and sells lifestyle-related products, has launched the 'Super Baby Gorilla no Hitotsukami' compression socks, offering a stronger compression feel than its predecessor, the 'Baby Gorilla no Hitotsukami.' Sales began on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, through the official online store 'Doshisha Marche' and select e-commerce sites.
### Development Background Launched in September 2025, the 'Baby Gorilla no Hitotsukami' was the first apparel item in the 'Gorilla High Power Series,' conceived as feeling like being held by a baby gorilla. To address customer feedback requesting even stronger compression and more intensive care, the company developed this new, more powerful model.
### Product Features - **Graduated Compression Design**: Pressures are set at 28hPa near the ankle, 22hPa at the mid-calf, and 17hPa near the knee, providing a 29% increase in pressure compared to the previous model. - **Convenient for Relaxation and Sleep**: Designed with a structure that allows toes to be exposed, reducing stuffiness and discomfort. - **Synergy with 'Super Gorilla no Hitotsukami'**: The company recommends pairing it with their calf care appliance for a more refreshing experience. - **Gorilla Handprint Pattern**: A unique weaving pattern on the mid-calf is inspired by a gorilla's handprint. - **Quality Guaranteed**: Made in Japan for reliable quality. - **Functional Design**: A single point mark helps distinguish between left and right sides.
### About the Gorilla Series Having surpassed 3 million units in cumulative sales, the 'Gorilla Series' offers health and beauty products based on the concepts of 'impactful design' and 'amusing spice.'
