TEKUTEKU BOY is about the coincidences that arise from "walking"
This is an original art toy with the theme of discovery.
In today's world, where values prioritizing efficiency and finding the right answer are strong,
In the detours and side trips that may seem pointless at first glance,
The character embodies the idea that new perspectives and encounters can emerge.

By incorporating mechanisms that generate movement,
Rather than being merely an art toy to be admired,
This art piece is intended to encourage each individual to rediscover their own unique values through experience.
DETAILS
Highlights
Our differences make us who we are
"TEKUTEKUBOY2003" is a walking device inspired by home video game consoles from the Heisei era.
Manufactured by Neo Tendon, this is a "hidden gem" that still enjoys quiet popularity.
【fashion】
Based on an homage to "Tobidashi Boya" (a children's sign), in the 2000s
A style that incorporates the color schemes and silhouettes of Y2K culture.
It's a design that evokes a sense of nostalgia and blends seamlessly into the urban landscape.
[Playfulness]
At the feet, there's a motif of trampled gum.
Through the proverb "Even a dog that walks around will stumble upon a stick,"
It conveys a message that affirms chance and detours themselves.

【TEKUTEKU CARD】
TEKUTEKU CARD generates human movement,
It's a mechanism designed to lead you to chance and discovery.
Collect the cards included with each city you purchase.
By applying via the QR code on the back,
We are planning a special event exclusively for those who have completed the tour.
The more you walk, the more the story unfolds.
We are all walking different paths.
Our feelings, thoughts, and the scenery we see are different for each of us. These differences unfold a map of infinite possibilities.
Why do we lose sight of our own path?
For a long time, we've relied on the North Star called "the correctness."
But as these stars begin to fade, none other than your unique perspective becomes the compass to new horizons.
We, too, have chosen a path different from others.
Our art toys are not mere souvenirs.
They are mirrors reflecting yourself and telescopes for discovering new horizons.
TOI guides you to a destination of discoveries, to the "truth," through the vehicle of art toys.
Now, let's embark on an adventure to find "your truth." This journey will color the map of the world and enrich your life.
[TEKUTEKU Rally]
The TEKUTEKU Rally is a mechanism that generates movement among people by having them search for Easter eggs called "TEKUTEKU BOY footprints"* that are subtly hidden throughout the city.
Visit the participating stores or locations.
By scanning the QR code on the back of the card,
You can access quizzes related to that location.
We are planning a promotion where you can enter a sweepstakes once you collect a certain number of points.
[Dedicated box]
We also designed colorful boxes that match the worldview of TEKUTEKUBOY.
