Sakakibara Kikai develops robots and entertainment machines in addition to its main agriculture equipment business. For a rate of about $930 an hour, people can rent the machines for children's birthday parties and other events, Nagumo said.
The company has created robots of all sizes. There is the almost 3.5-meter-tall Landwalker, the smaller Kid's Walker Cyclops, and the MechBoxer boxing machine.
But the Mononofu stands above them all. It also does more complex movements. It can move its fingers and turn its upper body, and walk forward and backward. However, it moves very slowly - at a speed of less than one kilometer per hour.

Although it may be slow, the Mononofu is very powerful. The bazooka-like air gun on its right arm shoots balls of soft material at 140 kilometers per hour. "As an anime-inspired robot that one can ride, I think this is the biggest in the world," Nagumo said. But Mononofu might be a bit too large.
It is unable to leave the factory without being taken apart because it was built taller than the entrance.
