Fumos are a line of high-quality plush character figures manufactured and sold
by the Japanese company Gift. Fumos exist for multiple franchises, but most
notably the Touhou Project. Touhou Fumos are designed by ANGELTYPE. Update:
ANGELTYPE has changed their circle name to ROYALCAT since 2017.

Fumos are generally difficult to purchase, even in Japan, due to their relative
scarcity. Fumos are out-of-stock as a rule, and Gift typically only manufactures
them twice a year, when they open for limited pre-orders. For most restocks,
Gift does not ship outside of Japan; when they do, the sales go through the
AmiAmi store.

However, don't let that discourage you! With the helpful information on this
site, you too can welcome a soft friend into your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a Fumo?
You have three main options: find a trustworthy reseller at a reasonable price,
order one from Amiami's international site, or order from Gift or Amiami's
Japanese site directly using a Proxy or Forwarding Service.
What do I need in order to get a Fumo?
The same things you need for any other online shopping:
 * A payment method - this means a credit or debit card. Gift itself does not
   accept Paypal, but many storefronts do.
 * Money - expect to spend between 50 and 200 USD, depending on the Fumo,
   shipping costs, and source. Deka fumos range from $500 - $3000.
 * Time - Shipping from overseas can take a long time.

Which characters have Fumos?
Check out our helpful Fumo Table. You can also look through the entire Gift
catalog here.
What are the varieties of Fumo?
 * Normal - a normal fumo. Typically about 20cm tall sitting. Nendroid ones are
   taller and posable.
 * Toy Strap - a small fumo with a strap for key chains.
 * Deka - a giant fumo. 70cm tall and incredibly expensive. "Deka" comes from
   the Japanese "dekai", meaning huge.
 * Puppet - a hand puppet, about 40cm tall.

How good are bootleg Fumos?
Bootleg fumos, mimicking the Fumo style and passed off as being authentic, are
often cheaper than real ones. However, Some have their own character and value,
like the long-legged bootleg dekas, but many do not. You'll have to decide on
your own, but know that you're taking a risk. For information on avoiding
bootlegs, see the reseller guide.
I've seen Fumos that aren't listed!
That was most likely a custom fumo! There are quite a few people out there who
make custom fumos themselves.
What does "Fumo" mean?
The word "Fumo" comes from the Japanese onomatopoeia "モフモフ" (mofumofu), which
means "soft to the touch", or "fluffy".
Where can I find, meet, and/or discuss fumo with others?
There are plenty of online communities for discussing and sharing our soft
friends. /jp/ on 4chan regularly has fumo related threads. /r/fumofumo on reddit
also is a nice place to post fumos, and there are several fumo-related Discord
communities like Fumo Project: https://discord.gg/TyF7VKSwGZ.
