About Toki Shoten

Toki Shoten was born in 2025 with one goal:

to give anime fans a spot to find and collect all your favorite merch and collectibles from your favorite franchises. I started this project in my free time, fueled by my passion for anime and Japanese culture. I'm a 27 year old from Miami, Florida and the goal was to make an authentic online store with Japanese influence and flair that welcomes customers from around the world. Life hasn’t been easy—juggling limited resources and low income pushed me to build something meaningful and grow this business. My love for anime and collectibles got me here and I wanted to show my enthusiasm and share it with others like me.

 

The biggest draw of this site is definitely the virtual Gachapon machine:

I spent many hours playing "Gacha" games and thought the mechanic of getting something you want out of a RNG pull was always exciting to me, despite not getting what I want all the time. Yes, I played Nikke, Brown Dust II, Wuthering Waves, Genshin, FGO, and even underrated classics like Bleach: Brave Souls (I'm a big Bleach fan). You can say I'm familiar with the genre. While playing, I had a simple thought: what if this RNG pull mechanic could be used to win real-life products and collectibles? It’s not a new idea — gachapon machines are everywhere in Japan — but I wanted to bring that same sense of surprise and excitement to the online world. Inspired by the classic gachapon machines, I wanted to bring that same sense of surprise and excitement to the online world. That’s how the virtual gachapon was born — a way for fans to get exclusive collectibles while reliving the excitement of the random pull. It’s not just shopping; it’s an experience. I made sure the drop rates are fair, transparent, and don’t leave customers feeling scammed. I hate wasting money on pulls that only give me junk — and I wanted to create a fun, unique way to collect favorite items without the frustration. This wasn’t built to squeeze extra revenue; it’s all about creating a memorable experience to keep customer's happy and coming back at a chance of getting that SSR or Ultra rare item. 

 

At Toki Shoten, I am committed to curating every item to ensure authenticity and quality, and I'm passionate about building a community where fans can share their love for anime.
