Pet, play and teach tricks
Pat her head and throw a ball. Draw a hand signal to teach her, and as your bond grows she learns Paw, Spin and more.
Life with Toshiko,
a gentle Shiba Inu walking game.
From a wobbly puppy to a gray-muzzled old friend: pet her, play, walk together and share the seasons as they come and go.
Along the way, the neighbors become friends. Nothing to fail and nothing to grind: just small, happy moments, day after day.

Every day with Toshiko
No tricky controls: everything works with one finger, and the days with her simply add up.
Walk your own neighborhood
Quiet houses, a shopping street, a riverside path: the town takes on the feel of where you live, through cherry blossoms, autumn leaves and snow, with small shrines and antique shops along the way.
Neighbors who become friends
The izakaya owner, the judo teacher, the shrine maiden. Run into them on your walks and, little by little, they learn Toshiko's name, share their stories and introduce you to their friends.
Dress up and decorate
A floral kimono, a summer yukata, even a dinosaur suit. Furnish her room with lamps, chairs and antiques.
Fortune Tail
Once a day, her tail tells your fortune, with a lucky color and a lucky thing to do.
Bath time and brushing
Lather her up, rinse her off and towel her dry, then brush her coat until it's fluffy.
A diary of memories
The day you met, her first trick, the friends you made. Your days together pile up into a diary of memories.
Gentle reminders
A quiet nudge for the morning walk or a treat. Easy to switch off in Settings.
Growing up together, season by season
Toshiko lives on the same clock you do, growing up a little at a time. Cherry blossoms in spring, fireworks in summer, golden ginkgo and falling leaves, winter snow.
The game's seasons and her age both follow the real calendar.

FAQ
Anything else? Just email us at the address below.
Is it free?
Yes, you can play the whole game for free. You can optionally buy Stars for cosmetic items, or join the SL Kennel Club (¥500 a month), which removes ads and gives you bonus Stars when you join and every month (the amounts are shown on the purchase screen). None of it changes how the game plays.
Are there ads?
The app may show ads, such as video, full-screen or banner ads, and the kinds of ads may change over time. Joining the SL Kennel Club turns them off. Purchases are always optional and always confirmed before you pay.
Which devices are supported?
iPhone X and later, running iOS 16.0 or later.
Does it send my location?
Your exact location never leaves your phone. Only a rough area, rounded to about 1 km, is used to look up the weather and what your neighborhood looks like. See the privacy policy for details.
What happens to Toshiko if I change phones?
Make a transfer code in Settings → Transfer & backup. Enter it on your new iPhone and Toshiko comes over in full: personality, level, items and diary. You can also keep a backup file.
