What is it about Tenga that seems to inspire Japanese people to make robots?
About a year ago a minor meme on the Japanese Twittersphere involved posting self-created visions of a mecha robot that could transform into a Tenga onacup.
That was apparently (and bizarrely) related to Valentine's Day. White Day (where the men give women gifts in Japan) saw a new meme, this time mecha robots inspired by the Iroha vibrator.
Now for 2016 along comes @ZMD11S, who hasn't simply drawn or planned a Tenga robot model: he (we are assuming he's male) has built one!
Sadly it's not an actual ...
Tenga is back with another great vibrator for women. The Tenga Iroha Plus (or iroha+) is the latest in the Iroha series that looks as stunning as they feel amazing. (This is Tenga, so no surprises there.)
This time the Iroha comes in three shapes even bolder and unusual than before.
The black Yorukujira is a kind of "nocturnal whale" equipped with a generous mouth and squeezable lips and a tail. The red Ringotori is an "apple bird" with a tempting beak and the Kushinezumi is a shell-shaped "comb mouse" with a host of ribs to tickle.
Tenga remain one of the few Japanese adult ...
Only the other day we blogged about Tenga's awesome Year of the Monkey design onacup.
Well, Tenga actually closed their special year of celebrations for their tenth anniversary by opening a new store in downtown Osaka in December.
It's their first dedicated outlet in Japan and occupies a prominent site in Namba (our old stomping ground).
To promote the store, Tenga invited porn star Mana Sakura to join them for the opening. Mana is fast becoming Tenga's go-to girl for advertising.
Here she is cutting the ribbon and then posing with Koichi Matsumoto, the ...
Tenga doesn't waste time and money with New Year's cards, as is the custom in Japan.
Instead it produces a special customized version of its Deep Throat Onacup to celebrate 2016, the Year of the Monkey.
The deep red of the cup is paired with a gold monkey face and mizuhiki-style ribbon.
Sadly this isn't for sale but what a great ...
Tenga is determined to make the most out of its anniversary year.
2015 is drawing to a close. At the start of the year, Tenga launched the Premium Tenga Vacuum Cup, a truly awesome new arrival in its bestselling onacup series.
It was the first release as part of a massive series of promo events and releases to celebrate 10 years as the Apple of Japan's adult industry.
But Tenga is not content to sit back on those laurels it has earned.
It keeps on going.
Now Tenga is back with two more Premium Vacuum Cups to round out the year. This time they are available in stylish white and black ...
Winter is coming. Soon the nights will be long and the days cold. We won't want to leave your blankets and futons.
Be it's boring to lie there doing nothing. Still, adult toys can also be prohibitively cold at times like this. Making sure you give everything a decent rub beforehand.
Or, if you are Tenga, you just invent a whole new toy.
Hot Tenga is an onacup from their bestselling series that can "self-heat".
Tenga has experimented in the past with these kinds of "warm" products.
The Tenga Onacup Hole Warmer was an insertable "stick"-style device that you heated in a ...
Shibuya was an insane spectacle last night, with tens of thousands of revellers out for Halloween -- many of them wearing all variety of costume.
As expected, Halloween in Tokyo has less to do with Hallows' Eve than with cosplay for its own sake. And so you get almost every type of costume imaginable. Many are very sexy -- you can see A LOT of legs and some butts on display -- and others are very funny and satirical.
While we had expected to see full Tenga Onacup suits around, our prize for best adult toy-themed costume is the Tenga helmet that these guys were wearing in Center ...
We've already seen how a Tenga onacup makes for an unusual but brilliant costume for a guy.
Put a cute Japanese porn star in one and it's even better. Here is Mana Sakura posing in a Tenga onacup costume for some snaps.
She apparently had a great time, judging from her face.
We've been searching around but cannot find a way to buy these costumes, though we think they would be great for Halloween.
As we know from her previous antics, Mana Sakura LOVES Tenga.
The popular porn princess was recently in a little hot water over a college event that had to be ...
It's almost time for Halloween and the streets of Tokyo -- especially Shibuya -- are guaranteed to be packed with a zillion slinky girls donning slinky costumes (despite the rapidly dropping temperatures).
Well, if you want an original costume, we recommend you check out some of the Japanese outfits available for overseas delivery on Kanojo Toys.
Tenga onacup-inspired outfits are regularly spotted at cosplay and costume events.
Last year in Tokyo during Halloween, three guys were dressed up as Tenga onacups, while a guy in the States seemed ahead of the curve in 2009 with his ...
Ever since the scandal of designer Keijiro Sano's official 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games logo, people have been having fun with making their own versions of the troubled design.
Sano's logo may or may not have been plagiarized from a Belgian source. Regardless, it became clear that Sano himself has plagiarized other materials for previous work.
The internet was largely responsible or this -- netizens tracked down Sano's copies and caused a lot of the fury. Sano even deleted his social media accounts just ahead of the announcement, perhaps fearing a backlash.
Though at times ...
