Description
The Otamatone is an electronic musical synthesizer. It was developed in Japan in 1998 by the CUBE toy company and the Maywa Denki design firm. The Otamatone is a singing toy whose body is shaped like an eighth note (it also somewhat resembles a tadpole, “otamajakushi” being Japanese for “tadpole”), with sound emerging from a “mouth” on the notehead. It requires two hands to play: while one hand holds and squeezes the “head”, the other hand controls the pitch of the tune by placing the finger on a ribbon controller on the stem; a higher position on the stem creates a lower sound. The ribbon controller is deliberately delinearized to resemble a guitar, so there is a shorter distance between higher notes than between lower ones. Varying the pressure on the head (thereby opening and closing the “mouth” of the Otamatone) creates a wah-wah effect, and shaking the neck (and thereby slightly changing pressure on the head) creates a vibrato effect. Switches on the back of the head allow users to change octave, turn it off or on, or change the volume. The sound made by this toy can be compared to the sound of a theremin, synthesizer, or jinghu.

WHAT IS OTAMATONE?
The Otamatone is a cute, quirky, and fun to play electronic musical toy characterized by its eighth note-shaped body, adorable moving mouth, and silly, buzzing, amusingly off-key “”voice.”” Developed by design firm Maywa Denki, it was first released in Japan in 2009 and has been the country’s best-selling musical toy ever since.
Innovative, unique, and now a popular toy worldwide, the Otamatone has earned high praise from fans and the toy industry alike, including the Japan Toy Association’s grand prize Japanese Toy Award in their ‘High Target’ toy division.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
You don’t need to be a professional musician to have fun with the Otamatone – anyone can get the hang of it!
Play any tune you like by sliding fingers up and down on the stem. Shake the Otamatone while playing for vibrato and create a “”wah-wah”” effect by squeezing the Otamatone’s cheeks to make it’s mouth open and close. Switches on the back of the head allow you to switch octaves, control the volume, and turn the Otamatone on and off to preserve battery life.
ABOUT OTAMATONE KIRBY
The second character edition of the Otamatone was released to celebrate Kirby’s 25th anniversary. The body is pink and Kirby’s face has been printed on the silicon head. The Otamatone’s round head and Kirby are a match made in heaven. It doesn’t get much cuter than performing Kirby’s songs with the moving mouth! Functions and size are similar to the standard Otamatone.
PERFECT GIFT FOR KIDS, TEENS, AND ADULTS!
Great as a Christmas or birthday gift for any child, music lover, or anyone who wants to have fun making cute, silly songs on the world’s weirdest musical instrument! Makes a hilarious joke or gag gift, and the smaller, keychain-sized Otamatone Melody designed for younger kids makes an adorable party favor too!
