Your Tokyofishmarket

Profile, avatar, badges, points, coupons — everything about YOUR experience on the platform. Let’s get you set up.

Your profile

Your profile is your identity on Tokyofishmarket. It’s what other collectors see when they check you out — your avatar, banner, badges, collection stats, and community activity.

SCREENSHOT \u2014 Avatar Creator: face, hair, eyes, accessories, Gogy\u014D element selector

Customizable parts

Face shape, eyes, hairstyle, hair color, skin tone, mouth, accessories, outfits. Mix and match to create something that’s actually you.

Gogyō element

Choose your element (Fire, Water, Earth, Metal, Wood). It shows up on your avatar as a pentagram mark and influences your personality profile in communities.

Unlockable parts

Some avatar parts are locked behind XP levels, badge combos, or secret achievements. The more you participate, the more you can customize.

Avatar Badges

Collect them all. Or try to.

Avatar badges are visual achievements that show up on your profile. Some you earn by grinding, some by exploring, some by being at the right place at the right time, and some... well, you’ll have to figure those out yourself.

XP Badges

Unlocked automatically when you hit certain XP thresholds. Keep participating and they’ll come to you. The higher the level, the rarer the badge.

Quest Badges

Complete specific challenges to unlock these. Some quests are time-limited, some are permanent. Check your quest log to see what’s available.

Mystery Badges

These don’t tell you how to get them. You’ll stumble onto them by exploring the platform, trying unexpected things, or just being active in the right way at the right time.

Secret Variable Badges

Driven by hidden variables we don’t disclose. Could be based on your collection size, your community karma, a combination of actions, or something else entirely. Good luck.

Badge Combos — The real game

Collect 4 avatar badges and you unlock a combo perk. Different badge combinations unlock different rewards. Think of it like materia slots — the right combination changes everything.

Points

Points on Tokyofishmarket come from everywhere. You buy something? Points. You post in a community? Points. You complete a quest? Points. You maintain a streak? You guessed it. The fun part is that if you’re active enough, you can stack up enough points to get real merch.

ILLUSTRATION \u2014 Points flowing in from: purchases, posts, votes, collections, streaks, quests

How to earn points

  • Make a purchase — the biggest source of points
  • Post quality content in communities
  • Vote on polls, versus, and quizzes
  • Contribute canonical data (character profiles, universe timelines)
  • Upload collection photos
  • Maintain your daily activity streak
  • Complete quests and challenges
  • Refer a friend who makes a purchase

Yes, you can earn that 1/4 scale 2B figure

Is it going to happen overnight? No. Could your friend with a 9-to-5 buy it faster? Probably. But they’re not collecting badges at 2 AM while watching Frieren for the third time. You are. And that’s what matters. Stay active, stack points, and that grail is yours.

The fine print (keep it real)

  • Points are not exchangeable for cash
  • Points are not refundable
  • Points cannot be transferred to another account
  • Points don’t work on Amazon, sorry
  • Points expire after 12 months of account inactivity
  • We reserve the right to adjust point values

Coupons

Got a coupon? Cool. You don’t have to memorize it, screenshot it, or panic about losing it. We’re not that kind of platform.

SCREENSHOT \u2014 Checkout screen with auto-applied coupons highlighted

Auto-applied at checkout

When you hit checkout, every coupon that’s been attributed to your account — for whatever good or mildly suspicious reason — shows up automatically. The best applicable coupon is pre-selected. No code entry. No digging through emails.

Try combos in your cart

Want to experiment? Open your cart and you’ll see all your available coupons. Try different combinations, see the price update in real-time. It’s like a mini-game but with real savings.

We love burning the boss’s money

The thing we’re most passionate about is making sure you never miss a discount you’ve earned. If you’ve got a coupon, you’ll see it. If it applies to your cart, it’ll apply. No tricks, no hidden conditions, no ‘minimum $500 purchase’ nonsense.

Why it costs less and why it's here before everyone else

If you've been feeding on Tokyofishmarket since you let yourself dream again, you already know something's different here.

We stream everything

Everything. Our Skynet has seen it, read it, heard it. Every product announcement, every manufacturer catalog, every regional release calendar, every aftermarket price shift. At this point it's not a secret anymore. We just see the whole board while everyone else is staring at one square. But we don’t know shit about fish.

ILLUSTRATION \u2014 Skynet scanning global product databases, manufacturer catalogs, regional release calendars

Why we have it before your store does

Companies like Good Smile have different release dates in Japan, in China, in NA. That figure you pre-ordered 14 months ago? It's been sitting on shelves in Akihabara for six months. We source from those markets. That's it. That's the whole trick.

Have we told you about the matrix?

Not the math. Red pill, blue pill. That one. You take the blue pill, you keep pre-ordering at full MSRP from your old store, you wait 14 months, and you tell yourself that's just how it works. You take the red pill, and we show you how deep the data goes. Every product sits in a pricing matrix. Release region. Condition. Rarity. Demand. Velocity. Real-time comp pricing. It's not magic, it's just that nobody else bothered to build it for anime figures.

ILLUSTRATION \u2014 Red pill / blue pill but with anime figures

Is it new though?

Yes. Why wouldn't it be? Oh — because it's $50 less than your pre-order that arrives next year? Yeah. Ours is here. Right now. Sealed. New. Staring at you from the product page. It's you who decides — stay an NPC if you want.

Uploading images

There are several places on the platform where you can upload images. Your avatar, your banner, collection photos, community posts, marketplace listings. It’s your space to express yourself — within limits.

SCREENSHOT \u2014 Upload areas on TFM: avatar, banner, collection photos, community posts

Where you can upload

  • Profile avatar and banner
  • Collection showcase photos
  • Community posts (text + media)
  • Marketplace listing photos
  • Forum thread attachments

What’s cool

  • Your actual collection photos
  • Fan art you made or have permission to share
  • Memes and reaction images relevant to the fandom
  • Screenshots from games, anime, or media (fair use)
  • AI-generated content (tagged appropriately)

Instant removal — no discussion

  • Gore, shock content, or graphic violence
  • Pornographic or sexually explicit material outside of designated NSFW communities
  • Racist, hateful, or discriminatory imagery
  • Content sexualizing minors in any form
  • Content uploaded with the clear intention of harassing or trolling
  • Stolen artwork claimed as your own
  • Phishing images or deceptive screenshots

Upload something bannable and you’re out

This isn’t a gray area. Upload gore, porn (outside NSFW communities), racist content, or anything designed to harass — your content gets removed immediately and your account gets actioned. Depending on the severity, that could be a warning, a mute, or a straight-up ban. We use the same escalation ladder as community violations. Don’t test it.

NSFW on Tokyofishmarket

We're a collectibles platform — and some collectibles are for adults. Figures with explicit sculpts, dakimakura, ecchi and hentai merchandise, gravure photobooks. It exists, people collect it, and we're not going to pretend it doesn't. But we built a real system to handle it, not just a checkbox.

How NSFW works here

NSFW isn't a vibe — it's a classification. Products, communities, and user content each have their own NSFW layer, all enforced separately. Nothing slips through by accident.

ILLUSTRATION — NSFW system diagram: products, communities, user content each with their own gating layer

NSFW products

Some products are tagged NSFW at the catalog level. This happens before any seller lists them — our data pipeline flags them during ingestion.

What triggers an NSFW product tag

  • Figures with explicit or semi-nude sculpts (1/4 scale cast-off, etc.)
  • Dakimakura (body pillows) with explicit artwork
  • Hentai or ecchi merchandise (tapestries, posters, keychains with explicit art)
  • Gravure photobooks and idol content rated 18+
  • Doujinshi with adult content
  • Any product whose packaging or promotional material is explicitly sexual

What happens to NSFW products

  • Hidden by default from all browse pages, search results, and recommendations
  • Only visible to users who explicitly opt in via their account settings
  • Product pages show a content warning gate before revealing images
  • NSFW products never appear in public-facing feeds, trending sections, or social sharing previews
  • Thumbnails are blurred until the user clicks through the gate

Content filtering & word filters

We run automated content filtering across the platform. Posts, comments, listings, community names, usernames — everything passes through.

Three filtering layers

  • Word filter — catches slurs, explicit terms, and known bad-faith phrasing outside NSFW spaces. Not a dumb blocklist — context-aware, updated regularly
  • Image scanning — uploaded images are scanned for explicit content. Flagged images get queued for mod review before going live
  • Report pipeline — users can flag anything that slipped through. Reports go to mods and AutoMod, with priority escalation for severe content

Smart filters, not dumb censorship

The word 'nude' in a community post about a Nendoroid face plate swap? That's fine. The same word in a listing description trying to bypass NSFW tags? That gets caught. Context matters and the system knows the difference.

NSFW communities

Community moderators can designate their community as NSFW. Once they do, the entire community gets wrapped in age-gating and content controls.

How NSFW communities work

  • Only users who verified they're 18+ can join or view NSFW communities
  • The community appears in search but with a locked preview — no content visible until you're in
  • Moderators set the NSFW flag during community creation or at any time after
  • Tokyofishmarket can reclassify any community as NSFW if its content warrants it, regardless of what mods set
  • NSFW content posted outside of NSFW communities gets removed immediately — no warnings, no grace period
  • Even inside NSFW communities, content sexualizing minors is permanently and absolutely banned
SCREENSHOT — NSFW community: locked preview in search, age-gate prompt, mod settings panel

Age gating

NSFW content is locked behind age verification. This isn't optional and it's not a suggestion — it's enforced at the account level.

How it works

  • During signup, users declare their date of birth
  • Users under 18 cannot access any NSFW content — products, communities, or posts
  • Users 18+ must explicitly opt in to see NSFW content in their settings
  • The NSFW toggle is off by default for everyone, even adults
  • Age declaration is permanent — you can't change your birth date once set
  • Lying about your age to access restricted content is a bannable offense

Your NSFW settings

Even if you're 18+, you control what you see. NSFW visibility is a toggle in your account settings, not a permanent state.

What you can control

  • Show/hide NSFW products in browse and search
  • Show/hide NSFW communities in discovery
  • Show/hide NSFW content in your feed
  • Blur NSFW thumbnails (on by default, even when NSFW is enabled)
  • Per-community NSFW mute — stay in a community but hide its explicit posts

It's your feed

We built NSFW controls to be granular because one size doesn't fit everyone. Maybe you collect ecchi figures but don't want to see gravure content. Maybe you want NSFW communities visible but thumbnails blurred. You set the rules for what hits your screen.

Child protection

RTA Label

RTA Label — we're registered

Out of respect for children and families, Tokyofishmarket is registered with the RTA (Restricted to Adults) label. This means every major parental control software — Net Nanny, CYBERsitter, SafeEyes, and others — automatically filters our adult content from children's devices. We don't wait for parents to figure it out. We did it ourselves.

Canadian law applies here. Period.

Tokyofishmarket is a Canadian company. Canadian law applies to everything on this platform. This is not a debate about freedom of expression, cultural differences, or artistic intent.

Under the Canadian Criminal Code (Section 163.1), child pornography explicitly includes visual representations — drawings, illustrations, animations, AI-generated images — that depict persons under 18 in sexual activity. This is not limited to photographs. Illustrated material is covered.

The following are permanently and absolutely banned from Tokyofishmarket

  • Lolicon (ロリコン) — sexualized depictions of underage female characters
  • Shotacon (ショタコン) — sexualized depictions of underage male characters
  • Toddlercon — sexualized depictions of infants or toddlers
  • Any illustrated, animated, or AI-generated sexual depiction of minors in any form
Read the full Prohibited Content Policy →

This ban covers everything

  • Products — listings, images, descriptions, metadata
  • Communities — posts, comments, media, shared links
  • Profiles — avatars, banners, bios, usernames
  • Marketplace — seller listings, buyer messages
  • Discussions — threads, replies, direct messages

There is no warning. There is no second chance. There is no appeal. Your account is terminated immediately and permanently. If warranted, your information is forwarded to the appropriate law enforcement authorities.

See something? Flag it.

The platform has a flag system available everywhere — on products, posts, comments, profiles, listings, and messages. If you see content that shouldn't be here, flag it. You don't need to be sure. You don't need to investigate. Just flag it and we handle the rest. Reports are reviewed by real humans, not just automated filters.

If this affects you or someone you know

If this content causes you distress, if you are a survivor, or if you know someone who is a victim — you are not alone. These organizations provide free, confidential support.
