Konno Sangyo (今野産業株式会社), a.k.a. Konno Industries[1] is a toy manufacturing company, founded in 1970 in Tokyo, Japan.
The company is known for pioneering[2] Japanese Gashapon industry (introduced in the 1960's by Ryuzo Shigeta a.k.a Gacha-gacha Ojisan, a former entrepreneur, and his brother) as one of the largest manufacturers and suppliers of capsule toys in the 1970's (the company worked with a monk who specialized in temple carvings[3][4], which hand carved wooden prototypes exclusively for Konno Sangyo Co. Ltd) before the industry was completely revolutionized in 1977 with the entry of a toy giant, namely, Bandai.
In 1992 the company manufactured a set of Keshigomu (消しゴム) collectible miniature PVC action figures, distributed by Sega in Japan, as part of its Salad Juu Yuushi Tomatoman (サラダ十勇士トマトマン, TomatoMan and the Knights of the Salad Table) series of toys.
