Kawaii Robots

Hoi Hoi-san

I heard about this little robot from Danny Choo‘s post about the Hoi Hoi-san figure. She is the star of a manga and a ten minute OVA, as well as a PS2 game. Hoi Hoi-san is basically a bug killing robot (with squeaky shoes) invented in the future when pesticides have stopped working.

Here’s a picture of her, which I think is one of the manga covers.

Also, here’s the figure version. Kawaii!

Ghost in the Shell: Tachikoma

One of my favorite robots is the tachikoma from Ghost in the Shell. Even though they’re fairly large combat vehicles, they still talk in cute voices and act curious and childish.

Ghost in the Shell had short episodes featuring the tachikoma at the end of their regular episodes:

There’s even a real tachikoma robot!

PLEN!

I love this little robot! PLEN can also rollerskate and pick himself up when he falls down.

I found this one over on Flickr, and I think they’re really adorable! It’s designed by Charuca, which has a lot of other cute character designs (mostly not robots).

Tenori Robit Paper Robot

These little guys are a paper craft project, sold by Gizmine. Even though they’re Japanese, they were red, white and blue so I figured they’d work for 4th of July.

Happy 4th of July from Kawaii Robots!

Here’s some little robot phone charms being sold by Strapya. They’re made out of clay with metal parts.

Tokyobay Robot Alarm Clocks

These kawaii robots are actually alarm clocks. (Made by Tokyobay.)

I might want one of these. I don’t have an alarm clock and they come in several different colors. =)

Apripoko

Here’s another little robot I found. It’s the Apripoko robot, made by Toshiba.

So cute! It looks kind of like a turtle.
