The Apple of the Japanese sex toys industry, Tenga, has launched yet another product -- and it's a great one. The Tenga SVR Smart Vibe Ring is great for couples and for solo play. You can slip the vibe around your fingers and use to pleasure yourself or your partner. The vibe offers two rhythms of buzzing in five different strength settings. The ring can also be fitted to the shaft of a male partner's member, allowing mutual, simultaneous stimulation during penetration. So something for the ladies and something for the gentlemen too. The ring is also waterproof ...

When you need something done, crowdsource it. And we know that Japanese netizens are a creative and resourceful bunch. For Valentine's Day (when girls give guys chocolates in Japan), Tenga became the Tenga Robo... a mecha creation for pleasuring the men. For White Day (March 14th, when the guys give chocolates to the girls in Japan), Japan's netizens reciprocated and turned Tenga into a Iroha-integrated robot. As shared on Twitter in an ever more outlandish series of images, the Tenga Iroha Robo was artistically very impressive. Image via @c_b_industry Image via ...

A few years ago people started talking about the "Chiisai Ojisan" -- the "tiny uncle". He was first reported in 2009 and is said to live around a shrine in west Tokyo. Apparently measuring no more than 20cm, the small man may be some sort of yokai (Japanese sprite). As we've written before, Japanese erotica has a fetish for "small" people, such as the koonago fantasy of having sex (and even eating) with tiny girls. This time it's a benign leprechaun-like Japanese guy who apparently hangs around. Don't be scared if you stumble upon him as he is harmless. Just don't accidentally ...

We always get super excited when Tenga releases a new sex toy. It's just something about the way they market their products, making proper images to advertise them (a surprisingly rare thing in Japan!), making a special website, coming up with decent copy, and of course the products themselves looking always top notch. Though owned by SOD now, Tenga started off as a small independent adult brand that hit the big time with its Tenga Eggs, Onacup and then, even more so, the Tenga Flip Hole. But this was a long time ago, relatively speaking. Lately the company has focussed on pushing ...

Forget the Olympics. During Tokyo's Olympic bid presentation a stupid buzzword was coined: omotenashi. It basically means "hospitality" and in the wake of Japan's victory is immediately became a popular word applied to almost any product, service or aspect of Japanese culture. We prefer the omotenashi of the sexual kind. Namely, the girls who will do anything and let you do anything. But it goes both ways. How about treating your partner to some classy hospitality? Now you can with the Omotenashi Denma Massager Vibrator, a vibe not unlike the classic Fairy Wand. These ...

Parody and sex. Not a typical partnership but one that you can find in abundance in Japan. Japanese sex toys are always making allusions and references to popular culture. From the Atushi Male Body Dildo (pop idol Atsushi from EXILE) to the "hi-jitsuzai" unreal Virgin JS First Fellatio (a reference to the "hijitsuzai seishonen" wording in the controversial revision to Tokyo laws for "protecting youth" against harmful manga), there is a host of wordplay and in-jokes just waiting to be unravelled. The Hyper Dash Rotor Vibrator Kit is inspired by Gakken's Otona no Kagaku "adult ...

Yesterday Tokyo Kinky went along to the opening day of Pink Tokyo, Japan's new adult expo at Differ Ariake on Tokyo Bay. Running until Sunday March 2nd, Pink Tokyo is a chance to interact with sex toy makers and see events with Japanese porn stars and idols. This is the first year it has been held and it was clearly a "test", since it was smaller than we expected. We still remember the Adult Treasure Expo AET at Makuhari Messe in 2007, which was bigger, with more booths and more interesting things happening around the "fair" part of the event. At Pink Tokyo there weren't any ...

We always get excited about new Tenga products. Japan's most stylish adult sex toys brand, Tenga is more corporate than it was before. It is now owned by DMM and used Dentsu for its marketing. It is also working with overseas distributors more and more, and we just hope it doesn't lose its cool willingness to be daring while also making commercially viable adult merchandise. It has been branching out from just toys for the boys recently. It started with the Iroha and the Iroha Mini, Tenga's first vibrators for women. They seem to have developed a hankering for this kind of sex ...

They've done it again. We were so happy when Tenga released its first adult toy for women, the chic and extremely effective Iroha Vibrator. Clearly, we weren't the only ones either, since Tenga has been inspired enough to release a follow-up, the Iroha Mini. As the name suggests, it's smaller and simpler, coming in just one version this time, though there are three color variations. Now it's more like a pod, plus is super quiet and -- best of all -- is fully waterproof. So girls who like to relax in the bath can now REALLY relax with the Iroha Mini. With its bold, ...

I'm a girl who likes to get licked out. But as well as the gentle lapping of a tongue, I also like the powerful buzz of a vibrator inside and around my pussy. So when Taro produced this Peropero Tongue Vibe, I was naturally pretty excited. The mini vibrator has a tongue-style flipping head that will keep busy buzzing up and down. The tongue is lined with small bumps and nubs too, which is more than a man's tongue has, I can tell you. I liked having it gently stroke over the top of me, but you could also push it in and have it oscillate inside your body too. The small ...
