Nohohon Zoku

Special edition Nohohon Zoku - Wedding Type



For Him


For Her

Nohohon Zoku (のほほん族) are a line of fist-sized bobble head figurines made by the Japanese toy company Tomy. They first went on sale in Japan on July 18, 2002. They are distinguished by a large spherical head with a wide smile and dots for eyes. The primary function of the dolls is to relieve their owners from stress. This makes them especially popular as desk knick-knacks and in offices. Nohohon is marketed as Sunshine Buddies in English speaking countries.

The name Nohohon Zoku means "carefree family." The original two lines were the Hidamari no Tami (ひだまりの民 Sunny People) and the Hanauta no Tami (はなうたの民 Humming People). The Hidamari no Tami can hold a business card sized piece of paper, whereas the Hanauta no Tami can sing and dance.

Unlike traditional bobble head dolls that bobble when poked or moved, most Nohohon Zoku are powered by small solar panels. (Hanauta no Tami are powered by three triple-A batteries.) As light shines on them, they gently sway their heads until the light source is removed.
