Toyota

Toyota's licensed products in this coverage are aimed at model and diecast buyers, with a Hasegawa kit out in August 2026 and TARMACWORKS and Doyusha releases set for early 2027 and October 2026. The most recent story is a planned October 2026 exhibition of a Crown Crossover decorated with Touken Ranbu imagery at Kyoto Station, with more collaboration plans to be announced.

Toyota's licensing activity in this coverage is split between car models and a single exhibition vehicle. Hasegawa opened the run in July 2026 with e moke, a 1/32 scale series that needs no glue or paint. The first kit in the line is a Toyota Celica LB 1600GT, offered in four colors and priced at 2,420 yen, released on August 1, 2026. It is the only Toyota subject in that series so far.

Two months later, two model makers put Toyota racing machines in their lineups. Doyusha added a 1/14 Toyota GAZOO Racing GR010 Hybrid WEC to its electric RC series at 14,080 yen, with switchable speeds and battery requirements, for an October 2026 release alongside a Ferrari 499P and a reissued Volkswagen Beetle. TARMACWORKS opened Amazon Japan pre-orders for four 1/64 diecast cars, among them the Safari Rally Kenya 2024 winning Toyota GR Yaris, all scheduled for February 28, 2027 at 5,060 to 6,160 yen.

The newest item moves away from models. On October 6, 2026, Toyota announced it will exhibit a Crown Crossover x Touken Danshi Mikazuki Munechika at Geijutsu no Eki 2026, the second Kyoto Station Building Art Festival. The car carries blue and gold lines and a large Mikazuki Munechika emblem on the hood. The exhibition runs October 17 to November 3, 13:00 to 20:00 daily on the first floor Station Front Plaza, and Toyota says more collaboration plans are to be announced.
