Origin and background of the character
Created in Japan in 1974 by Kōichi Sekiguchi, Monchhichi (made world-famous in France under the affectionate name ‘Kiki le kiki de tous les kikis’) is a small soft toy monkey with a baby-faced expression that has been a part of the childhoods of millions of people across the globe. The ultimate embodiment of kindness, innocence and gentleness, this companion has remained just as popular through the ages. The Benelic brand celebrates this icon of vintage pop culture through a collection of practical items inspired by the Japanese art of living. This melamine mug brilliantly combines the nostalgia of the 70s and 80s with a functional kawaii design, making it the ideal and deeply affectionate gift for all lovers of all things retro.
