A capsule toy (カプセルトイ, kapuseru toi) is a type of small vending machine in Japan, in which a user inserts a coin and turns the rotating lever to receive a released toy in a capsule. The term also refers to the actual toy that is released. As of 2023, with its diversification, active manufacturing of products and machinery as well as installation of wholesale machines, capsule toys are attracting attention as a new industry. Various names exist depending on the time period, region, and selling manufacturer, such as Gacha-Gacha, Gashakoko, Gachapon, Gashapon, Gacha, and P-cup, because these names are registered as trademarks by various companies.[1] This article will use the term capsule toy.
^For example, Gachagacha and Gachapon are registered trademarks of Bandai (Registration Numbers 2031315 and 4536344, respectively).
