Kaiyodo (海洋堂, Kaiyōdō) is a Japanese company which manufactures figurines and garage kits. Its headquarters is in Kadoma, Osaka Prefecture.^[1] While the company mostly focuses on anime related characters, it recently has acquired other licenses, e.g. King Kong, and some Godzilla characters.

Kaiyodo was originally a small shop in Japan, but grew into a famous company over the years, leading them to sell collectables worldwide. One of their most famous sculptors is Bome, who is most well known for his Mon-sieur BOME collection. In recent years, his figurines have become well known and sought by collectors, and his works have been displayed on a worldwide scale at conventions, including Paris, Tokyo etc.^{[citation needed]}
