DANBO

Danbo is a Japanese cardboard robot that originally appeared in the manga Yotsuba&! in 2007. Danbo is seen as an icon of curious innocence.

Danbo first appeared in Chapter 28 of the manga Yotsuba&![8] by Kiyohiko Azuma[9], published in April 2006[1]. In the issue, the main character Yotsuba Koiwai mistakes her friend Miura Hayasaka dressed up as a science project for a real robot. When Yotsuba asks the robot its name, Miura does not want to crush her friend’s dreams, naming the costume “Danbo,” a play on the Japanese word for corrugated cardboard, danboru. While the robot was originally named “Cardbo” in the first translation, when Yen Press re-published the manga, they chose “danbo” which senior editor JuYoun Lee[16] thought sounded cuter.

In December 2007[18], Japanese toy maker Kaiyodo, known for manufacturing the toy known as Hentai Woody, began selling Danbo toys online. Between 2007 and 2012, Revoltech has released several variations of the Danbo figures[11] including ones with Amazon and 7-11 logos.
