Sanrio Characters - Toppy & Kuppy - Toppy (Takara Tomy)Toppy · Takara Tomy

This figure from Takara Tomy features Toppy, one half of the Sanrio duo Toppy & Kuppy. As a classic Sanrio character, Toppy represents a piece of the company's early character design history, produced in collaboration with Takara for toy licensing. Toppy & Kuppy were designed by Shinichi Emura and created as image characters for Osaka Yomiuri Television, where they were featured from 1980 to 1983. Toppy is an anthropomorphic boy white dog character with black ears and whiskers, typically depicted wearing a blue vest and a red bowtie. His sister Kuppy features a similar design with long white ears and a red ribbon. Together they live in Blue Sky Town (Aozora Town) with their parents — a mother known for her cooking and a loving father who brings Toppy along on outings. The characters enjoyed approximately a decade of prominence as beloved Sanrio mascots. This figure is produced by Takara Tomy (formerly Takara), continuing the original toy licensing partnership that helped bring these characters to life.
