Yes, "Ultraman porn" is a thing in Japan.
Women dressed up as Ultraman-like characters (especially the Mother of Ultraman) in tight costumes and being screwed by men and other "creatures" is not just a nostalgic fantasy, it is an outright erotic fetish in its own right.
Porn label GIGA likes these pastiche superhero/superheroine porn and they seem to be responsible for the unofficial Mother of Ultra porn (there may be others around).
The "Giant Heroine" (Kyodai Heroine) franchise started way back in 2008 with a film starrting Nana Saeki. The most recent was in July 2015, starring Miho ...
The Hestia boom has been growing this year and it just got better.
The busty character from DanMachi (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?) was the star of the light novel and subsequent anime adaptation, and has now become a cult character in her own right.
Twitter went wild with a mini meme in the spring, where many people copied Hestia's signature blue ribbon costume and uploaded pics to the social network.
Then we had a Taiwanese cosplayer who showed us that busty ladies go very nicely indeed with Hestia costumes.
Hestia is now the inspiration for the DanMachi ...
Japanese sex toys often use parody to add an extra layer of fun to the proceedings.
We've seen countless parody onaholes, so with clever packaging that resemble actual commercial products such as beer cans and snacks.
There are also lubricants like this -- which at first glance look just like green tea or even wine bottles.
This is done for the purposes of comic relief but also disguise. You can then leave your sex toy in plain sight!
The "imitative" nature of the design can also add something to the effectiveness of the toy, especially in the case of the items like the candy ...
The Candy Lotion Portable Lubricants will fool anyone until they try to eat one of your sweets.
On the surface, all you've got in your hand is a bag of candy.
In fact, these are mini capsules which can be broken to give you an oozing lube for enjoying with a partner, by yourself, or with a sex toy.
This makes them very discrete if you want to leave them lying around or even if you want to take them around with you -- in your bag to work or to the store. You never know when you might need some lube!
It's not just a gimmick. The lubes are really effective too.
There ...
The Japanese have come up with some unusual sex toys and adult products in their time.
Frankly, many defy explanation.
But I think we have a new winner.
They have been created by guro manga artist Shintaro Kago as awesome ideas for the things sex toys should really be doing for us.
And what ideas they are.
"Dekichatta-kon setto" (Shotgun wedding set) consists of a condom with a hole in it, plus a spout for collecting spent semen, a needle for puncturing a condom, and a small bottle (for secretly storing your lover's spunk, natch).
Apparently you can buy the set from TACO ...
Japanese sex toys love to play cheeky jokes.
That's why you get so many masturbators, vibrators and even condoms themed unofficially around famous idols, games, books and so on (including Pachinko!).
Food and drink products have also inspired parodies and sometimes this can come in handy for "disguising" your adult treat.
In the past we've seen Green Tea Lotion and a host of other sex toys based on actual beverages or snacks, including cup noodle, beer cans and more.
One of the latest is this onacup-style masturbator, the Onanee Onariko Cup.
The name and the packaging ...
Parody is a big part of the Japanese adult industry, which never takes itself too seriously and loves to create toys overtly (and unofficially) parodying something, whether that be a famous people, idol group, anime, and even drink products.
At the end of last year, a parody JAV title was made that had a lot of fun with the case of Ryutaro Nonomura. If you recall, he was the Hyogo Prefecture politician accused of having dodgy expenses and whose press conference justifying his actions descended into bawling.
His habit of putting his hands to his ears to listen to questions quickly went ...
For a culture that doesn't really have much sense of irony (especially in its comedy or mainstream entertainment), the Japanese sex toys industry seems to take the lead in introducing a healthy dose of parody into proceedings.
And so we get sex toys very unofficially modeled on hunky EXILE member Atsushi and even a unique handjob toy and porn film series inspired by Hello! Project idol group Berryz Kobo. In the past we have also seen lubes and lotions based on famous drinks, Gundam-inspired condoms, and even Pachinko vibrators.
This Listen to Me, Girls! I Am Your Horny Father Onahole, ...
We all like a nice handjob. But as any connoisseur knows, there are various techniques and styles to a good handjob. Rigorous. Gentle. Swift and sharp.
But how about cute? Can you get jerked off in a sweet and innocent way? In Japan, yes.
The Beyz Kobo Handjob Idol Toy recreates this sensation with a super kawaii touch.
We've seen a lot of handjob masturbators in our time, from robotic jerkbot machines to "gloves" with a "woman's touch" and more.
But we've never seen one with a finger like this!
If you like Japanese idol groups you will straightaway notice the ...
We know this is going to be a divisive release -- and that's why we're blogging about it.
Over at Kanojo Toys, they have a JAV porn DVD for sale called "Rina-chan Best".
"Rina-chan Best" is a long 480-minute double-disc fetish DVD porn set for the audiences who love eight-hour paipan schoolgirl fantasies. And that's quite a big audience in Japan, it seems.
Rina is a sweet little girl who measures a mere 147 cm (4.8 ft) in height. Like small girls with flat chests? She's the one for you. (After all, there's no shortage of them in Japan.)
In the series of films in this set Rina is put ...
