Why Aiko

More than a doll. A connection to who they are.

Many of us never found a doll that looked like our family. Aiko is the gift we wish we'd had: a way for children to connect with their Japanese family, traditions and stories from an early age.
Family Shared with parents and grandparents, with stories passed on.
Culture Thoughtful details inspired by Japanese heritage.
Made for gifting The gift we wish we'd had, for birthdays, cultural celebrations and everyday moments.

How great!

I ordered the Japanese mini Aiko doll for my granddaughter for Easter and know she will love her! Aiko is so cute and easy to carry. I sent several questions to joeydolls. They respond quickly and are a very caring & understanding company. I would most certainly order from them again. All of their Asian dolls are really cute!

Thank you so much for your kind words, it truly means a lot to us! We’re so happy to hear that Aiko will be part of your granddaughter’s Easter, and we hope she absolutely loves her. It also means so much to hear about your experience with our team. Thank you again for your support. We can’t wait to be part of your next special moment!

Really lovely

We bought this doll for our 3 year old daughter. She absolutely loves having a doll that "matches" her hair color, and that of her family members. The doll itself is a great quality and I'm so excited for her to have the opportunity to enjoy this time with it.
It did take a while for us to receive the order, however the company was very forthcoming about expectations and what was going on. I appreciate the updates and simply held onto it for the next holiday
Thank you for this great representation!

Play with purpose

What I wished for as a child, made for yours

Growing up, I never had a doll that looked like me or celebrated where my family came from. When I became a mom and still couldn't find one for my daughter, we made them. Every Joeydoll is designed with cultural care, so more children can see themselves, their families and their traditions in everyday play.
