this is a day in the life of a Japanese toy maker.

Living in Tokyo and she's just waking up for work.

She lives on her own in this one LDK apartment.

Mhm Her morning routine is fairly simple because like most Japanese, she prefers to think about that night.

So getting ready is quick and finished after applying her makeup.

Quite common in Japan in fact, one out of four Japanese women in their twenties and thirties where either circle or colored contact lenses, I see what they're doing.

Although she gets ready quickly before she leaves the house.

She makes sure to quickly check her personal email as it's typical in Japanese business culture, you only read work e mails during work hours.

Khan is originally from ICSI Prefecture but moved to Yamanashi Prefecture to attend university majoring in regional sociology.

Like many Japanese university students, she started her shoe Shoko casado a.

Job hunting while in school and was able to secure employment before graduation, which led her to Tokyo to start her new life and career.

And as a person who has a deep appreciation for all things cute and fun.

She nationally found a bit at a job for the last four years as a toy planner.

Hey, y'all, we're doing another day in the life at this time with the Japanese automaker kind of should be coming on the next train?

She worked at Sega toys, creating some of the most popular toys in Japan formed in 1998 from its parent company.

Sega, one of the largest video game and entertainment companies in the world.

Although many of the Sega Sammy companies are located in the same building.

Sega toys operates independently with 100 and 10 hardworking staff to create award winning almost to in english toys even with major brands like uncommon and Disney.

They were trying to steal a bit of help to steer running latino artist school.

Okay, How they study, That guy is someone that is uh, you know, I used today.

Now Khanna has a weekly meeting where each member is responsible for sharing how their own project is coming along, such as schedule milestones as well as possible delays or issues.

And these days, because of covid, what was once highly found upon in japanese business culture, online meetings with coworkers at home has become part of everyday business in Japan.

Oh, Oh, it seems like they're done with the meeting.

So the company has a wellness system called the input day which allows employees to use up to 3000 yen.

About $26 every month to experience new entertainment to help encourage creativity and understand new trends.

Uh huh Oh she's going somewhere, where are you going?

Usually goes to lunch around this time, but since she has a bit more work in the office, he's gonna grab a little snack to tide her over.

Fortunately there's a convenience store in the building, just a few floors down, fairly common for large office buildings in Japan.

So it looks like kind of has a little bit more desk work.

So while she's doing that, let's go toy around this place.

Alright, so this looks like the break area on this floor.

They've got basic kitchen, a pledges and vending machines.

Oh I guess people put their bed does in here, wow and check this out And this is the history of all the Sega arcade games.

They even have the first one, the Sega 1000, wow.

Hi, can I talk to you, What are you doing right now?

Oh I see the little mini cars are propelled by the power of springs and slopes and you can link together these many tiles to make a unique track them.

What was the hardest part about making this?

So this is pretty cool seeing what everyone is doing.

Let's see if we can find some more people.

Apparently Coco can understand and perform 24 different tricks.

What was most challenging when making cocoa?

Apparently japanese kids have a distinct voice compared to other countries.

So there aren't many existing programs made for them.

So it was a challenge for her team to make the right adjustments.

Why are you sitting in the same room as everyone?

So what do you think is the most important thing when making a toy?

This last april from the global and planning division must be inspiring for the employees to see someone from within the company to become its leader.
