Okamoto, creator of the "Zero" range of ultra-thin condoms, has made an online anime series to promote safe sex.
Condom Battler Goro is packed with nods to past animes like Dragon Ball, Pokemon, Fist of the North Star, and Yu-Gi-Oh.
As first reported by Kotaku and SoraNews, the 56-episode series stars a 24-year-old Condom Battler named Goro. Naturally, prophylactics are his arsenal and his particular rubber of choice is the Zero One 0.01mm condom. He gains condom armor when he opens up the Zero One condom foil packet. Goro has an ally, the 24-year-old Hayato, and a girlfriend, 24-year-old ...
Thank you, Japan. Perhaps no other country in the world would produce a pack of condoms quite like this.
Sure, Japanese condoms are famed for their quality and thinness -- particularly the Okamoto Zero One 0.01mm and Sagami 0.01 condoms. There are also funner condoms, such as the Rilakkuma Love-Love Hot Honey Flavor Condoms or these Gundam parody condoms.
Now along comes the Okamoto Danbo Condoms, which are based on the simple yet wildly popular character Danbo (aka Danboard).
The "cardboard robot" first appeared in Kiyohiko Azuma's manga Yotsuba&! but has now spawned its own ...
Japanese condom makers love to do fun stuff like create fun concept products and do serious research into sexual habits.
All this and also producing arguably the thinnest condoms known to man (we say arguably, because there are Chinese challengers).
Well, we would now like to invite you to the Okamoto Condom Training Camp -- ostensibly presented by the titular condom maker responsible for a 0.01mm condom for the benefit of all condom users out there (not so many in Japan, it seems, given the high number of shotgun weddings).
The bizarre promotional video purports to ...
Okamoto continues its "Lovers Research Lab" with a third "project". Following the condom-maker's investigation into dinosaur sex and then the Zero One Belt condom-dispenser, Condo-Moody is a concept for an app that works in sync with a condom box.
Open the box and the app switches on (via Bluetooth). It then provides beautiful lighting to help set the mood during your lovemaking. Okamoto recommends you place the "communication tool" by your pillow.
This hilarious video shows an extreme version of a couple attracting the whole neighborhood with the lighting around their ...
The Japanese condom company Okamoto may make some of the best advertising in the industry -- from humping dinosaurs to condom-dispenser belts -- but it no longer has the crown of world's thinnest condom.
A court in Guangzhou’s Yuexiu District has said that Okamoto must stop using the label in its advertising, because the title of world's thinnest condoms rightfully belongs to Aoni condoms, which are made by Guangzhou Daming United Rubber Products.
Okamoto was a victim of its own success. If you make enough of a fuss about a claim, invariably there is going to be someone who got ...
Okamoto have done it again.
After teaching us that even humping dinosaurs want protection, the condom maker's latest fun marketing gimmick is a spring-loaded condom-dispenser belt. Yes, you did read that right.
The Zero One Belt uses voice recognition through a smartwatch-style wrist device to eject a 0.01 Zero One ultra-thin Okamoto condom (the world's thinnest condom). Say "Zero One" into the watch to command the belt. The belt then opens out and shoots the condom up into the air so you can catch it with a snazzy hand movement, showing your lover that you mean business.
Never ...
We've written before about Japan's amazing condom brands that go to great lengths to market their products in original ways. They have to do this since Japanese people -- if we believe the media and the surveys -- are either not interested in sex or, if they are, don't bother with contraception, leading to rising STDs and unwanted pregnancies.
And so we get the Durex "horror movie" or the annual "Condom Day" stunt.
Okamoto, the makers of the world's thinnest condom, have created this new ad for their products, using a lot of CGI.
It starts with two dinosaurs roaring. But if you think ...
They aren't being sold online (yet!), but Tenga has recently been doing a collaboration with Okamoto to create special onacups.
Okamoto is the famous Japanese condom maker, now lending it's skills to Tenga's insides! Who knows what good things can come out (or into) these creations from now? More collaborations, perhaps with some cool designers, would be welcomed as ...
