Hiroaki Koike runs a little company with a huge idea. His company, appropriately named ‘Little Island’, combines superb craftsmanship and attention to detail, doll making skills, special personalization techniques, and a knowledge of robot and networking technology to break into a completely new market.
The centerpiece of Little Island’s product lineup is a ‘bride’ robot that not only looks like the bride, it can actually wave and greet wedding reception guests and interact with them. We’re assuming that the company could also supply a ‘groom’ robot, but no one ever pays much attention to the groom on wedding days.
The company has an English website (see below), and indicated that they are very interested in overseas customers. Although they don’t have online ordering in English setup yet, they welcome inquires via their contact page.
