KENELEPHANT Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Kenzo Ishiyama), 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) to July 16 (Thu), 2026, to celebrate the release of new capsule toys by artist BENICOTOY (Beniko Toi).
BENICOTOY began creating three-dimensional dolls and accessories during high school. She has since worked across diverse fields, including producing figures for celebrities, creating figures for album covers, and designing decks for skateboard brands. Currently, she continues to handcraft original character works, focusing primarily on her signature creations.
To commemorate the launch of the new capsule toy series 'BENICOTOY Figure Mascot,' featuring miniature versions of her iconic character 'Saboteurs,' the pop-up event will showcase and sell this new product line along with newly created plush toys of original characters made specifically for this occasion.
The characters, each with humorous and mysteriously unique expressions, possess distinct personalities and charm. This event offers a rare opportunity to experience up close the warmth and sculptural artistry that only handmade creations can convey.
