She’s back! After selling out faster than we could have imagined, Aiko , our most-loved Japanese doll , has returned to fill homes with joy, heritage, and a whole lot of cuddles.
If you’ve been waiting for her restock, now’s your chance. Aiko isn’t just a toy - she’s a soft plush doll for children that celebrates Japanese culture in the sweetest, most huggable way.
About Joeydolls
At Joeydolls, we create dolls that look like the world we live in. Our founder, an Asian mom, started this brand so kids could see themselves reflected in their toys.
Every doll is thoughtfully made, safe for all ages , and designed to bring cultural heritage into everyday play. Our mission? Every child deserves to feel seen and celebrated.
Meet Aiko - Our Japanese Doll
She’s 18 inches of pure comfort and connection. Aiko comes dressed in a beautiful floral kimono with embroidered details that honor Japanese traditions. Her hair ornament stays secure (even with toddler love), and every stitch is made to last through years of hugs.
Why she’s special:
Represents Japanese heritage through authentic design
Soft and huggable for babies, toddlers, and beyond
Rigorously safety tested
Perfect for gifting at Hinamatsuri, birthdays, or just because
When you bring Aiko home, you’re not just getting a doll - you’re helping your child learn about the beauty of cultural diversity.
Japanese Cultural Collection
Aiko is also the heart of our Japanese Cultural Collection - a beautiful tribute to the elegance and traditions of Japan.
This collection features our beloved Aiko Japanese doll alongside a curated selection of apparel and accessories that bring cultural pride to life through thoughtful design and joyful storytelling.

It’s more than a collection - it’s a way to bring heritage into your home and share it with the next generation.
