Doko Demo Issyois a long-running series in Japan,[2]where it has seen commercial success.[3]The games feature "pokepi" (short for "pocket people" ),[1]characters which the player interacts with through a variety ofvirtual petmechanics andminigames(e.g. talking, feeding, sleeping, photography).[2][4]A major reocurring feature is to teach the pokepi words to memorize.[5][6]Most games feature some type of networking features to communicate with other players by sharing "business cards" or other data.[5][7]

The first game in the series,Doko Demo Issyo,was released on 22 July 1999 for the PlayStation.[1]It was possible to put transfer pokepi onto thePocketStationand interact with them on the device.[1]The game sold over 1.1 million copies.[4]Sony released two bonus discs that added more gameplay:Koneko mo Issyofeatured younger versions of the pokepi, andModo mo Issyohad cell phone connectivity features.[6]

The series has touched on a variety of genres.[6]OnPlayStation 2,Watashina Ehonallows the player to make picture books, andToro to Nagareboshiis more akin to an adventure game.[6]OnPlayStation Portable,Rettsu Gakkou!has the player learning trivia and playing minigames. By using the PSP's network functions, the player could download new lessons distributed every two weeks.[6]

On PlayStation Vita,Toro's Friend Networkcreates avatars and a visualization of the player's PlayStation Network friends, allowing them to interact with the avatars in different 3D environments.[8]

Toro

[edit]

One of the game's characters, Toro Inoue, became a mascot for the PlayStation brand.[8]Gamesindustry.bizwrote in 2004 that Toro was "firmly established as a cultural icon in the Far East" as PlayStation's mascot.[3]Official U.S. PlayStation Magazinewrote in 2002 that Toro was used heavily as a mascot in Japan, but that the American Sony branch did not want a single mascot to represent the brand. The character was used in a variety of marketing materials in Japan, including billboards and television commercials.[4]On several occasions, Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc. (Japan) and series developer BeXide have held public "birthday parties" for Toro featuring food, charities, and raffles.[9][10]
