Aoshima

Aoshima was founded in 1924 by Jiro Aoshima in Shizuoka, Japan, as an aircraft research institute. In 1929, Aoshima began producing wooden model kits, utilizing the knowledge and experience accumulated from aircraft operations. In 1961, Aoshima Bunka Kyozai Inc. was founded to develop and manufacture plastic model kits.

Since then, Aoshima has continued to grow and become one of the leading manufacturers of plastic model kits in Japan. Our brand is known for its high quality among modelers worldwide, and we continue to develop new and innovative designs to meet customer demands.
