FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS GACHAPON?
Gachapon (ガチャポン) are brightly colored Japanese vending machines that are stocked full of capsule balls that each hold a unique individual prize, often from popular anime and manga.
In 1960, Ryuzo Shigeta, or ガチャガチャおじさん (literally “Gachapon Grandfather) got his hands on a coin-operated prize machine.
He then filled it up with capsule balls and created the first Gachapon machine in Japan!
Today, most Gachapon machines are categorized by series, and it’s all about luck when it comes to collecting the toys inside. For example, a machine of your favorite magical girl anime may have 10 different characters inside, so getting your personal favorite character is all about luck. The name "gachapon" is onomatopoeia from the sound "gacha" for the hand-cranking action of the machine and "pon" for the sound of the toy capsule landing in the collection tray.
HOW DO I USE A GACHAPON MACHINE?
It’s very simple! The first thing to do is to find a Gachapon machine that has something you’re interested in.
Once you've found a machine you're interested in, you can purchase a token from the cashier at any location where our machines are found.
Then simply put your token in, spin the handle, and watch your prize capsule drop!
WHAT'S IN THE CAPSULES?
Pretty much anything! Mini figures, keychains, plushies, and more all imported from Japan! While anime, video games, and manga-related merch are the most popular, you can find plenty of other prizes. Some cute options include animals doing quirky things, food, insects, dinosaurs, and even miniature home appliances. Your imagination is the limit!
HOW DO I ADD A GACHAPON MACHINE TO MY BUSINESS OR EVENT?
