RAMEN TECH 2026 Women Entrepreneurs' Work Expo — FIGURO event report
On Wednesday, October 7, 2026, FIGURO exhibited at the official RAMEN TECH 2026 link event “Life goes on — Women Entrepreneurs' Work Expo (WOMEN TECH EXPO)” at ONE FUKUOKA CONFERENCE HALL in Tenjin, Fukuoka. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, and to the organizers and staff.
Here is a look at the day in photos. (Our announcement before the event is here.)
The FIGURO booth
Our booth was a simple pegboard-style plywood counter with the FIGURO logo. On top we set out sample figures, QR-code stands reading “One photo becomes a figure — scan for a free 60-second preview”, and flyers.
The figures on display
The shelves showed figures for different occasions — a wedding couple, a business person in a suit, a man in traditional montsuki hakama, a boy with a soccer ball. All of them are samples made from AI-generated model photos. Many visitors stopped to look and said they hadn't thought of using a figure for occasions like these.
One photo, and you become a figure
We hung a poster that puts the original photos next to the finished figures — a bride, a chef, a grandmother and a Shiba Inu — so you can see what a photo turns into.
The basics, as written on the poster:
- Upload one photo from your phone (you can try without signing up)
- A free AI preview of the figure in about 60 seconds
- Four styles, such as anime, chibi, caricature and realistic
- 10–15 cm sizes, flat-rate nationwide shipping
A video to show how it feels
On the display we played an image video of a boy holding his figure. We made it to give a sense of the surprise and joy of opening a box and finding a figure of yourself.
Flyers and the QR code
If you want to try right there, scan the QR code and send a photo from your phone. The take-away flyers carry the same QR code.
A group photo at the venue
Finally, a group photo taken at the venue. All those smiles and poses gave us energy too.
If you couldn't make it
You can try a free preview of yourself, or of someone you love, any time.
Thank you for coming and for all the kind words. We hope to see you again.
