What is NYOTA? NYOTA is a POP MART character created by artist KAKA. She is a curious girl who pays attention to small things, often in the company of her cat, Lumi. If you first met her as a figure, the four-part animated series is a good way to see their relationship: a pause, a glance and a cat moving into the frame can tell a whole story. Meet NYOTA and Lumi in the animation studio’s production notes.

Who created NYOTA, and who is Lumi?

POP TOY SHOW introduces KAKA as the artist behind NYOTA. Lumi is her companion in the animated stories. Spotting the cat is one way into the collection, but a figure can also tell you something about NYOTA through the object she carries or the weather around her. Compare a domestic scene like Kitten Hug with a figure named Autumn Glow: one suggests closeness through touch, the other through a season you might remember yourself. Read KAKA’s artist profile.

Which NYOTA series is the one you remember?

Fluffy Life — cats, home and small routines

Look for NYOTA’s Fluffy Life if a kitten, a hug or a quiet patch of sunlight made you notice the character. Kitten Hug, Home and Lost Star are separate designs within the series. The figures range from roughly 6 to 9 cm tall, so two from the same lineup can sit at different heights. Ri-son’s Fluffy Life checklist covers the regular designs and Cotton Candy Daydream, the secret.

I Am the Seasons — where to find Autumn Glow

Autumn Glow belongs to I Am the Seasons. The same line also includes Hidden in Autumn, a different design, as well as Snowfall Bliss and Bamboo After Rain. If you have a photo or a collector card, use the whole name when selecting an option. You can compare them on the I Am the Seasons product page or in the illustrated Seasons guide.

Growing Up by Your Way — figures for a milestone

The names in Growing Up by Your Way read like entries in a diary: Childhood, Friends, Thinking and Road. For a graduation gift, the choice can be personal. Friends might recall the people who shared that time, while Road suggests the journey ahead. Ri-son gives a height range of about 6–9 cm for these PVC and ABS figures.

We Are All Stars — celestial names and designs

We Are All Stars gives each design a different association with the night sky. Wishing Star, Wayfinder Star and Meteor Shower belong here. Lost Star, despite its name, belongs to Fluffy Life. That distinction is particularly helpful when searching from a handwritten wish list or a photograph of a card.

NYOTA × Chibi Maruko Chan — everyday comedy

In the Chibi Maruko Chan figure series, the scene names turn toward school, family and home. Rest Day, The Best Grandpa and My NO.1 Friend make sense as gifts even to someone who owns no other figure. POP MART also lists a plush pendant under the collaboration name, so check the format as well as the characters.

Is the NYOTA doll in the photo a plush or a figure?

Where Moments Meet is a plush doll series. Ri-son lists the dolls at approximately 15–17 cm, noticeably taller than a typical Fluffy Life figure. If you remember the name Hi Lumi or Goodnight Kitty, look here. For someone who would like a specific sculpt without a blind-box choice, Love Comes with the Wind is a separately listed figure. Compare the product formats in POP MART’s NYOTA collection.

How to choose a NYOTA blind box or a named design

A single sealed box leaves the design a surprise. A named opened-box option identifies the figure, which helps when buying a gift or completing a row of seasons on a shelf. The outer box and inner packaging can have different conditions. Read the chosen option and ask for a photo of the card and packaging if either matters to you. Browse NYOTA at Ri-son.
