In 2015 Azone International & Kinko Juice joined forces to bring dolls fans the 1st KIKIPOP! series.
And this year, 2019, fans will enjoy the 10th KIKIPOP! series.
It’s called: Baby Bunka Girl
This series features outfits designed by Michiru of Babydow (ベビ堂).
You may remember Babydow’s work on Azone International’s fairytale series.
Does EX-Cute Tsukiha and Sorane Little Blue Bird ring a bell?
ベビ堂 was the artist behind their designs.
We first saw images of the Baby Bunka Girl prototypes at Azone International’s New Year Doll Fair 2019.

A lot of creativity and details went into designing the 10th KIKIPOP! Series like:
- There’s added details in their eyes
- Their dresses feature images related to their names (Kokeshi-chan’s dress features images of a Kokeshi doll and Torikago-chan’s dress features a bird cage. Her name translates to bird cage)
- Each girl has a different skin tone
I’m very tempted to add Baby Bunka Girl Torikago-chan to my collection but I must resist the temptation.

I’ve been eyeing off Kikipop since the Doll first arrived. But it thinks it’s time for me to bring one home. I love these but the little dark haired girl is the one for me.
Hello Jo Ellem,
I know what you mean.
I’m finding with each release, it’s harder and harder to resist them.
If you decide to welcome home Kokeshi-chan please do come back and let us know what you think about her.
Thank you for taking the time to chat with us about the 10th KIKIPOP! series.
