T-ARTS’ adorable “Oni-giri” capsule toys fuse rice balls with little demons in five playful styles, spinning into gachapon machines June 2025!

🍙 Meet the Oni-giri Gang – Devilishly Cute Rice Ball Demons!

Japan’s T-ARTS, a toy brand under Takara Tomy, has announced a deliciously delightful new gachapon series for June 2025—the “Oni-giri” capsule figures! At just ¥300 per pull (Approximately $2.00 USD), these playful food-themed figures combine the Japanese words for demon (oni) and rice ball (onigiri) into a quirky set of mischievous snacks.

Each figure stands around 3.5 to 4.5 cm tall (Approximately 1.4 to 1.8 inches) and is packed with charming details, from devil horns and expressive faces to toppings-turned-hairstyles and nori-style outfits. They’re the perfect little companions to bring to lunch and photograph in wild, bite-sized adventures!


😈 Five Tasty Troublemakers to Collect!

The Oni-giri lineup features five designs, each representing a classic rice ball filling with a devilish twist:

  • Ume (Plum): Sour and sassy with a little pink scowl
  • Mentaiko (Spicy Cod Roe): Red hot and full of mischief
  • Ikura (Salmon Roe): Gleaming, bubble-like beads of orange chaos
  • Shio Musubi (Salted Rice Ball): Classic and stoic with a minimalist charm
  • Kombu (Kelp): Deep purple flair and the most colorful of the crew

Semi-Transparent Rice Texture: The base of each figure is crafted using clear resin with subtle opacity to mimic real rice grains.
Toppings as Hairstyles: Each filling is turned into wild, hair-like expressions of their flavor personality.
Nori-Wrapped Outfits: Every demon rice ball comes wrapped in a seaweed-inspired demon suit.
