New Expressions & Buzzwords - March 2025 Issue This word is created by combining “nui” from “nuigurumi” (stuffed toy) and “katsu” from “katsudou” (activity). People enjoy going out together or taking photos with their favorite stuffed toys. Clothing for stuffed toys, known as “nuifuku,” which can be changed to match the destination or season, is also gaining popularity.
