Hokkaido has various good potentials such as wonderful natures, distinctive creatures, high quality wood materials, delicious foods, and unique cultures. However, we have not made use of these potentials sufficiently now. To improve them, we need to develop highly independent products based on regional originality in Hokkaido. In this study, we developed a prototype of robot toy, which is focused on an animal and wood material as the Hokkaido originalities. We applied "ezomatsu (picea jezoensis)" for a material of robot body, which has good features such as light weight, robustness against temperature and vapor, easily fabricated, and good appearance because of straight wood grain. In addition, we incorporated a traditional wooden toy 'tsumiki (building blocks)' in a design concept of the developing robot toy. The robot toy consists of several parts which have switch function by assembled with defined rules. We applied a blakiston's fish owl for the appearance, which is called 'Kotan Kor Kamui: meaning that household god in Aynu' living only in eastern part of Hokkaido. We showed a developed body mockup and an actual prototype in this paper.
