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), 2026 to July 16 (Thu), in celebration of 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 figures for celebrities, album cover figurines, and deck designs for skateboard brands. Currently, she continues to handcraft original character works as her main creative focus.
This event commemorates the launch of the new capsule toy series 'BENICOTOY Figure Mascot,' which features miniaturized versions of her iconic character 'Sabotars.' The pop-up will showcase and sell this new product line, along with newly created plush works based on original characters made specifically for this occasion.
The characters, each with humorous and mysteriously charming expressions, possess unique personalities and distinct appeal. This event offers a rare opportunity to experience up close the warmth and sculptural artistry inherent in handmade creations.
