Following the release of Hohoemi, Orient Industry began receiving heartfelt letters from users-many of whom shared how the dolls had helped them cope with personal loss or emotional burdens.This became the foundation of Orient Industry’s philosophy: to create dolls that provide emotional comfort and companionship. Around this time, the company also launched the “Ueno Counseling Room” (now the Ueno Showroom), offering not only product guidance but also a space for deeper conversations with prospective buyers.
Five years after Hohoemi, the company introduced its second model, Omokage, named after a user's letter mourning his beloved wife.This model featured a latex exterior with a foam urethane interior, eliminating the need for air inflation—a revolutionary step in the world of love dolls, which until then had largely been synonymous with inflatable models.
The upgrade from soft vinyl to latex brought significant benefits: users could place their full weight on the doll without fear of bursting or air leakage. The latex skin offered a more human-like touch, while detachable arms and legs made storage easier.
Attention to detail was evident throughout: 100% real human hair, movable eyes, and a face design meant to evoke warmth and universal appeal, rather than unattainable beauty.

Omokage gained significant public attention and wide user support- but one recurring request stood out: "I wish the doll had movable joints."Kagemi was Orient Industry’s response—

a fully updated model based on Omokage, but enhanced with internal joints in the arms and legs.

These joints allowed for dynamic posing and made it possible to recreate various positions to match the user’s preferences. The head could also rotate, adding expressiveness and versatility. Internally, the structure was refined for greater durability and elasticity, with a maximum weight tolerance of up to 120 kg (about 265 lbs).
Storage was also improved-arms, legs, and even the head could be detached.
The name Kagemi was inspired by the concept of a companion that’s always by your side-never leaving, never alone.

Thanks to the success of Hohoemi, Omokage, and Kagemi, Orient Industry began gaining recognition in the industry. Media coverage increased, and orders surged—at one point, customers faced a waiting period of up to three and a half months.The overwhelming demand nearly pushed the company to its limits. To prevent further inconvenience to customers, Orient Industry temporarily halted all production and orders. The team then established a new factory three times the size of the original, built a proper organizational structure in 1990, and onboarded specialists in material development, production, and after-sales support.

With its new infrastructure in place, the company introduced Eika, the crowning jewel and final installment of the “Kage Series.”As the culmination of all prior innovations, Eika was re-engineered from the inside out. Everything—from the internal skeleton components to the finest design details—was meticulously upgraded.
Improvements included refined latex skin for stable quality and a more natural body silhouette, which often suffers when incorporating joints. To prevent breakage at limb joints, custom hardware was introduced. The maximum weight capacity was increased from 120 kg to 145 kg (approx. 320 lbs).With Eika, the iconic “Kage Series” concluded its legacy on a high note.

Departing from the "Kage Series" aesthetic, Orient Industry launched the Hana Sisters-a trio named after bright and beautiful flowers, intended to introduce love dolls to a broader audience. Backed by years of craftsmanship, each sister came with her own unique personality.
The three dolls were named Ayaka (Colorful Flower), Yuka (Gentle Flower), and Mika (Beautiful Flower), each reflecting different aspects of femininity.The standout feature of this line was the introduction of interchangeable heads-a shared neck attachment allowed users to customize their doll by switching out facial designs. Individual head parts were also made available as optional add-ons, making the dolls even more versatile.
Each body could be disassembled into head, torso, arms, and legs. Legs came in two variations: extended and bent-knee, allowing for both standing and seated poses. These updates were driven by user feedback: “I want something that gets as close as possible to my ideal woman.”
The catalog tagline at launch captured the spirit perfectly: “A masterpiece to color the era of individuality.”For the first time, new sculptors joined the team, resulting in a dramatic leap in facial quality. The once mannequin-like look was replaced by naturalistic features and makeup, achieving a lifelike realism that set a new benchmark in the industry.

Following the Hana Sisters, Orient Industry expanded the lineup with new head sculpts like Saki, Suzu, Haru, and Laura, bringing the total to eight head variations.Earlier dolls featured the “Wink Eye” mechanism - eyes that closed when laid down and opened when upright. But the new generation introduced Glastic Eyes - crystal-clear, glass-like eyes that added incredible realism.
Head connections were updated with magnetic ball joints, making them easier to swap. The neck could now tilt in multiple directions in addition to rotating, allowing for more nuanced, human-like expressions. Limb joints were also refined for improved durability and ease of handling.
Around this time, online sales began. Among the new heads, Suzu, with her cute and gentle expression, gained instant popularity and - along with the upcoming Alice - became one of Orient Industry’s signature designs.
To set their products apart from the commonly used term “Dutch wife,” the company invited users to help choose a new brand name. From the submissions, CandyGirl was selected as the official title.It was also during this period that a segment of users began differentiating “love dolls” (ラブドール) from the older, less refined “Dutch wife” terminology - a shift in language that would eventually redefine the entire industry.

Up until this point, latex had been the primary skin material for dolls. However, it came with unavoidable downsides - it was prone to staining and required high maintenance. In response, Orient Industry began exploring alternatives, ultimately considering soft vinyl as a new material.
Based on a prototype body developed for this new material, the CandyGirl series introduced Asuka - a limited-edition model commemorating the company’s 20th anniversary.
Asuka featured articulated joints using custom metal fittings and "Wink Eye" movable eyes. The head and body were molded as a single unit using soft vinyl, which meant it was not compatible with other head parts.
Soft vinyl proved to be more stain-resistant, easier to clean, and cheaper to produce than latex. As a result, Asuka not only marked a turning point in material innovation but also opened the door for future models to adopt soft vinyl as the new standard -- ushering in the Soft Vinyl Era.

Building on the manufacturing techniques used for Asuka, Orient Industry launched the Petit Soft series, introducing models like Alice and Mayu. This series broke away from the traditionally alluring, mature aesthetic and instead embraced compact bodies with adorable, youthful faces.
Among them, Alice quickly became a fan favorite and eventually a symbol of Orient Industry.
The dolls used ball-joint connections for the head, allowing for wide neck articulation and easy head replacement. Thanks to their full-body soft vinyl construction, they were lightweight, user-friendly, and affordably priced-greatly expanding their appeal to a broader customer base.
This period coincided with the rapid spread of the internet, marking a cultural shift. Media coverage of love dolls moved from print magazines to online platforms, where Alice gained even more visibility.
Her cuteness attracted a new demographic: younger people and collectors seeking emotional comfort or visual enjoyment, rather than purely physical use. As such, the Petit Soft line played a major role in expanding the love doll market beyond its traditional audience.
The series later expanded its lineup of head types and was renamed Petit Soft Pure in 2006. Today, it has evolved into the modern Love Doll Petit series.

With a growing fan base fueled by internet culture, Orient Industry launched FANTASTIC -- a sub-brand devoted entirely to anime-styled dolls.It was the brainchild of an in-house employee who was himself an anime enthusiast. The goal: to bring beautiful 2D anime girls into the 3D world as life-sized figures tailored specifically for anime fans.
The heads were removable and compatible with the Petit Soft series. Models like Tina and Tisse, dressed in classic maid outfits and featuring anime-style facial designs, were especially popular. For users who wanted to customize their dolls, unpainted versions were also offered.
FANTASTIC quickly gained recognition. Characters like Tisse became mascot figures in serialized magazine features (e.g., Penguin Club by Tatsumi Publishing). The brand also collaborated with AliceSoft to produce a doll based on the character Gakugazatsu from the game Daibanchou: Big Bang Age.
FANTASTIC dolls were frequently featured in figure magazines, public events, and TV programs, sparking widespread attention and solidifying their place as a pop culture phenomenon.

Inspired by American-made silicone real dolls, Orient Industry spent two years developing its own full-body silicone love doll. The goal was to eliminate the issues found in American dolls, such as excessive weight, stickiness, and tearing.The result was a product that drastically improved both in appearance and functionality compared to earlier models. Its beautifully translucent skin, reminiscent of a jewel, led to the name "Jewel."Maximizing the advantages of silicone, the doll achieved a stunningly lifelike skin texture. The seamless one-piece body incorporated an internal skeleton, enabling realistic joint movement. This innovation marked a major turning point, making silicone the mainstream material for love dolls.Due to its unprecedented quality and material, it came with a high price and required weeks for delivery. Nonetheless, anticipation was high, and orders flooded in immediately upon release.Only 100 units were offered every three months, but each batch sold out instantly. Demand far exceeded supply.The silicone version of “Alice” was especially popular, even featuring in the brand’s first photo book, LOVER'S DNA (published by Saibunkan).Around this time, more users began enjoying love dolls not just as sexual partners, but as collectible figures for dress-up. In 2009, "Jewel" was renamed “Jewel 136.”

"Exelent" was the successor to the “Hana Sisters” and “Candy Girl” lines. Its body contained special foam to provide softness and was coated in soft vinyl.The torso, arms, and legs were detachable, allowing for compact storage. As with its predecessor, the doll included two leg styles—bent and straight—for different poses.Four head types were available: “Haruna,” “Moe,” “Tomoko,” and “Olivia.” “Olivia,” designed with a Scandinavian beauty in mind, attracted significant attention.Users could choose between silicone heads for a soft, realistic touch and soft vinyl for easier handling.With advantages like light weight, ease of use, low maintenance, affordability, and compact storage, the Exelent series was highly popular from a user-centric perspective.

“Nineteen” was an upgraded version of the “Exelent” line, with its standout feature being newly designed ball joints at wrists, shoulders, and hips. These allowed for more dynamic poses like crossing legs or layering hands—previously impossible with soft vinyl bodies.Like Exelent, the body was modular and included two leg types.New head options—“Nana,” “Yui,” and “Sayaka”—joined existing ones for a total of seven. Silicone heads were again available.The model was later renamed “Soft” in 2005 and “Separate” in 2009.

Designed for elderly care practice and training, this dummy featured soft “skin-feel silicone” that replicated the realistic texture and weight of human skin.It was intended as an educational aid in medical and caregiving fields.

This silicone love doll was conceptualized as the elder sister of the 2001 “Jewel,” featuring a larger 150 cm height.As with its predecessor, the seamless one-piece silicone body included an internal skeletal system for lifelike posing.The newly introduced head “Misaki” was designed as a grown-up version of “Alice.” Popular previous heads like “Suzu” and “Akari” (formerly known as “Saki”) from the Candy Girl series were also revived in silicone.The body was compatible with silicone heads from “Exelent” and “Nineteen,” offering more customization options.

The Jewel series stood out for its seamless, soft silicone body. However, some users struggled with storage or found the high cost prohibitive.In response, Orient Industry developed “Jewel Light,” which featured a silicone torso and detachable soft vinyl arms and legs.This reduced the cost and allowed the doll to be disassembled for easier storage.Combining the beauty and touch of silicone with affordability and practicality, Jewel Light became a popular, user-friendly alternative.

To allow more people to casually see and touch the actual "Candy Girl" dolls, we have opened our second showroom in Minamisemba, a bustling downtown area of Osaka.

From December 3 to December 7, 2004, the "Candy Girl Photo Contest" was held at the Motoazabu Gallery in Azabu-Juban, Tokyo.

A total of 199 photo submissions from users all over Japan were exhibited. The event was a great success, drawing a large number of visitors to the venue.

Released in 2001, the fully silicone-molded Jewel created a sensation. It continued to captivate many users and became one of Orient Industry’s most popular products.Petit Jewel F was developed as a new variation of the Jewel, featuring a significantly enhanced bust size.Not only was the bust larger, but the silicone material was specifically engineered for superior softness. It offered an ideal balance of suppleness, elasticity, and enhanced durability.Around this time, the internal structure of the Jewel series was also revamped. Users could now choose between two body types:
● Free Body – a lighter version of the original body, designed for easier handling.
● Grip Body – with joints at the elbows, knees, shoulders, hips, and neck adjusted to provide the right firmness for posing.The Grip Body became particularly popular for display and photography purposes.In 2009, the product line was unified under the name Jewel, and Petit Jewel F was integrated as one of its variations.

A Windows-compatible adult adventure game titled CandyGirl, themed around Orient Industry’s love doll "Candy Girl," has been released.

The game features three of the most popular characters from the "Candy Girl" series: Alice, Ai, and Rie. This marks the first time in the gaming industry that a love doll has been featured as the heroine of a game.

Jewel Light was designed for ease of handling and storage, with a silicone torso and detachable soft vinyl limbs.The Jewel Light F took this concept further by significantly increasing the bust size to 94 cm.Along with its affordability and user-friendly design, its glamorous body won strong support from users.At the time of launch, the only available head for the Jewel Light series was “Aoi.” However, to offer a more mature and captivating look, the “Tomoko” head from the Nineteen series was later adopted as the new standard.In 2009, this line was renamed Separate and integrated as part of the broader product lineup.

Since its debut in 1999, Petit Soft became one of the most widely adopted long-selling products, especially after the release of the popular “Alice” head.Petit Soft Nano was developed based on Petit Soft, adding movable limbs and a compact storage design.It could be disassembled into head, torso, arms, and legs, making it easy to store.The arms used ball joints, while the legs had rotating joints, allowing for a wide range of posing thanks to flexible hip movement.The soft vinyl material was also enhanced for better softness.The launch of Petit Soft Nano expanded the lineup of lightweight, affordable, and easy-to-handle soft vinyl dolls.At the same time, the original Petit Soft was renamed Petit Soft Pure.In 2009, the series was renamed Nano.In 2010, a silicone torso option was added, enabling users to enjoy silicone dolls at a more accessible price.In 2011, a D-cup bust version was introduced, offering even more customization options.

Jewel Rosa joined the silicone-molded Jewel series as a new addition.Standing at 155 cm -- 5 cm taller than Jewel 2—Jewel Rosa was closer in height to the average real woman, enhancing realism beyond the existing 140 cm and 150 cm body types.While it featured a taller and more voluptuous figure, it was also 1 kg lighter at just 27 kg.Its slender frame and full bust created a more feminine silhouette.Designed with the beauty and allure of a rose in mind, Jewel Rosa featured a new silicone body with meticulously detailed specifications that won the admiration of many users.To match its mature and enchanting body, three new heads—Koyuki, Ami, and Sachiko—were introduced.In 2009, the model was renamed simply Rosa.

An exhibition showcasing our products was held at the Vanilla Gallery in Ginza, Tokyo, under the theme of the "Artificial Maiden Exhibition."A large number of visitors from all over the country, including users and others from various sectors, attended, making it a great success.

The Jewel series, molded entirely from silicone, introduced Jewel Diva following Jewel Rosa.Jewel Diva was developed based on a model molded from an actual human female model. Standing at 162 cm, it became the tallest love doll ever produced by Orient Industry.The goal of Jewel Diva was to achieve the ultimate in realism. To capture more lifelike details, not only was the body molded from an actual human model, but elements such as skin tone and subtle muscle shading were meticulously recreated, closely mimicking a real human body. With a distinct concept from previous products, Jewel Diva aimed to express adult allure.The available head options for Jewel Diva included “Risa,” “Ran,” “Mao,” and “Miki.” Jewel Diva captivated many users with its overwhelming presence and attention to detail.

The second Candy Girl Photo Contest was held at the Motoazabu Gallery in Tokyo.Photographic works by users from all across the country were displayed.

Based on the previous model *Jewel Rosa*, the traditional manufacturing methods, materials, and structure were thoroughly reviewed, leading to the introduction of a new internal skeleton called the “Titan Frame.” In addition to reduced weight and improved durability, the product saw a significant performance upgrade--most notably, it became possible for the doll to stand upright for the first time.

For over 30 years, Orient Industry has strived to create the ideal woman. In 2008, it culminated in the birth of the realistic love doll ANGE.The height of ANGE is 157 cm, which aligns with the average height of Japanese women. The body is molded in silicone with a well-balanced bodyline, beautiful and natural skin color, and a focus on realism in the details. Designed to fit standard off-the-shelf clothing (size 7 and 9), it allows for creative costume coordination and free styling.For the internal skeleton, ANGE uses the newly developed "Titan Frame," similar to Jewel Rosa F. This enables an upright posture and allows for a variety of poses.Additionally, bust size options are available in large (E cup) and small (B cup) to cater to the user's preferences. A realistic pubic hair implant option is also available.In 2010, the Titan Frame 2 was introduced, further enhancing the internal skeleton, improving the grip functionality, and increasing the stability of posing.New options were also added, including finger joint movement and gaze tracking, allowing for more expressive facial and body expressions.

Since its introduction in 2001, the Jewel series, made of silicone and molded as a single piece, has undergone continuous improvements to become a long-selling product. The Jewel 136/146 is the latest iteration, a petite version of the Jewel love doll, designed with various refinements to meet the expectations of users.The weight has been reduced by approximately 4 kg compared to previous products.With significant improvements in flexibility, the range of motion of the joints has increased, allowing for a variety of poses.Available in two sizes, 136 cm and 146 cm, users can also choose between large (D cup) and small (A cup) bust sizes.

LALA DOLL is Orient Industry's first fabric-based hugging doll. It was developed with the concept of being versatile for cuddling, dressing, and display.The torso, arms, and legs are made of fabric, while the head and hands/feet are made of soft vinyl. Weighing only 4 kg, LALA DOLL is the lightest love doll ever produced by Orient Industry.To recreate a realistic bodyline, a unique pattern was developed, and a three-layered special fabric ensures a comfortable touch, flexibility, and durability. The body parts are carefully sewn and stuffed at a domestic plush toy factory.The body parts are fully poseable, allowing for various positions, and the doll is easy to dress. Thanks to a weighted waist, the doll can sit naturally when leaned against a backrest.Additionally, users can choose whether to have a hole part installed, making it suitable for both display and use as a dressing-up or cuddling doll.The head and body are integrated, and heads like "Hina," "Kaze," "Miku," "Rin," and "Alice" are available.

The ANGE series, a central product from Orient Industry, introduced the ANGE SEPARATE in 2015.The ANGE SEPARATE is made entirely of silicone, with removable arms. The main body weighs 23 kg, and the arms weigh 3.6 kg each. By removing the arms, the overall weight is reduced by 3.6 kg, making it easier to carry.The arm movement range is 360 degrees around the connection point, allowing the arms to be raised straight up, accommodating various poses. Changing outfits becomes easier when the arms are detached, and more outfit options are now available. Furthermore, the removable arms help prevent damage to the underarm area.The arms are easily detached by inserting them into the socket, where four bearing balls lock them securely in place, ensuring smooth movement and preventing them from coming loose.The head of the ANGE SEPARATE is the same as the standard ANGE series. The new model, ANGE SEPARATE NEO, has reduced the arm weight to 2.6 kg, further enhancing portability.

The "Ya Su Ra Gi White Skin" series, which pursues realistic sculpting, now offers a "blood vessel" makeup option.
By adding this blood vessel makeup, a more lifelike presence is achieved, further enhancing the realism of the doll.

The ANGE SEPARATE returns as "NEO," achieving an even lighter design compared to the previous model.

Held at Atsukobarouh in Shibuya, Tokyo, this special event celebrated the 40th anniversary of Orient Industry. The exhibition featured a range of items, including historical dolls, talking party dolls, and the “Lucky Butt” display.

The event attracted a large number of visitors and was a great success.

A never-before-seen type, the "Berry" model was designed with an emphasis on proportions and expressions that capture the true essence of a doll. It was offered in two body and head variants: "Ribon" with a realistic skin tone and "Coco" with an anime-style skin tone. This limited-time model was available in the smallest and lightest version ever.

In addition to the traditional white skin tone, a slightly sun-kissed, healthy skin color was experimentally developed. This later led to the introduction of the whitening version and the summer-limited sale of the tan skin tone.

The Berry series introduced a slightly more mature type, with the release of Ruby and Sapphire. The two were created as a pair concept, with Ruby embodying femininity and Sapphire having a more androgynous feel.

This small and delicate body is based on a figure concept. It is compatible with ready-made outfits in the 130cm size, and custom-sized outfits are also supported. You can choose the eye color and hairstyle to your liking, with options for either "small breasts" or "large breasts" for the body.
