History
Aoshima Bunka Kyozai is a Japanese model manufacturer commonly known by the shortened brand name Aoshima. What can be established with reasonable confidence is that the company has long focused on plastic model kits, with subjects including cars, motorcycles, aircraft, ships, military equipment, and selected anime or other cultural themes. Its activities are associated with Japan’s model-making industry in Shizuoka, and its products are also distributed to international hobby markets. The supplied material does not provide sufficiently reliable details about the exact founding year, early business transitions, successive management, or the development dates of individual product lines, so those details are not added here.
Products and positioning
Automotive plastic model kits
