KENELEPHANT Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: KENZO ISHIZUKA), an art goods manufacturer, will host a pop-up event titled 'BENICOTOY POP UP in KENELEBUNSHITSU' at its flagship store in Ochanomizu, 'KENELEBUNSHITSU,' from June 25 (Thu), 2026 to July 16 (Thu), 2026, celebrating the release of new capsule toys by artist BENICOTOY (Beniko Toi).
BENICOTOY began creating three-dimensional dolls and accessories during high school and has since worked across diverse fields, including producing figurines for celebrities, album cover art, and skateboard deck designs for skate brands. Currently, she continues to handcraft original character works as her primary focus.
This event commemorates the launch of 'BENICOTOY Figurine Mascot,' a new capsule toy featuring miniaturized versions of her iconic character 'Saboteurs.' The event will showcase and sell this new product alongside newly created plush works based on original characters designed specifically for this occasion.
The characters, each with humorous and mysteriously expressive looks, possess unique personalities and charm. This event offers a rare opportunity to experience up close the warmth and sculptural artistry unique to handmade creations.
