About KOTOBUKIYA TV

KOTOBUKIYA TV is the official YouTube channel of Kotobukiya, a Japanese hobby manufacturer known for plastic model kits and figures. The channel publishes short product showcases, event recordings, anime tie-in releases and developer interviews, mostly in Japanese. Most uploads run under a minute, with some long live streams for events.

The channel has about 64,000 subscribers and a median of roughly 3,500 views per video, with launch videos reaching tens of thousands. Its audience is estimated to be largely Japanese hobbyists and collectors, though this is an estimate and not platform-verified data.

The channel carries no third-party sponsorships; it promotes the company's own catalog. Outside brands looking for hobby-audience reach would be paying about $150 to $250 per video, which is roughly $20 to $35 per 1,000 long-form views, or $4 to $8 per 1,000 Shorts views. Paid ads usually cost $10 to $30 CPM, so this is a niche-reach option rather than a cheap one.
