Nanoblock

Although it is also sold internationally, the micro-sized building block toy Nanoblock is a popular gift among travelers to Japan, especially the kits featuring famous Japanese landmarks such as Tokyo Tower, Tokyo Sky Tree, Tokyo Station, the Kaminarimon gate in Asakusa and Himeji Castle, Japanese art and culture such as bonsai, carp streamers, or hina dolls, and Japanese food such as ramen and yakitori.

Nanoblock's CharaNano Series

Nanoblock also has a special character-based collection called CharaNano, in which they have released such well-known characters as Godzilla, Ultraman and his foes, Hatsune Miku as well as Pikachu and many other Pokémon.

With the exception of Chiko from Chiko-Chan Will Scold You, however, anime characters in the CharaNano series have so far only included classics such as Doraemon and his friends, Conan from Case Closed, and characters from Neon Genesis Evangelion like Eva Unit 1.
