Article 8 of the "Regulations on the Healthy Development of Adolescents" prohibits the sale of "articles that induce sexual curiosity" to minors. The 2023 amendment adds: If the facial features of life-size sex dolls resemble those of minors, whether the flat chested sex doll or plump models, they will be considered illegal. This is the basis for the Osaka police to crack down on the "Lolita-type life size sex doll factory" in 2022. Manufacturers must retain notarized documents of design prototypes to prove that the age setting of the characters is over 18 years old. Sales platforms must implement triple age verification.
