With a Mitsubishi Kuru Toga mechanical pencil, you’ve got a surprising amount of technology in your hand. Every time you make a mark, the complex Kuru Toga Engine silently kicks into gear. As you lift the pencil, Kuru Toga turns the lead slightly and advances it a tiny bit. This keeps the lead sharp and consistent, so you don’t need to rotate the pencil or click the lead-advance button. Instead, you can stay in the flow of writing or drawing.

Kuru Toga KS, introduced in 2024, is a fresh line of Kuru Toga pencils with contemporary colors and elastomer grip sections. There’s a replaceable eraser (Uni Type S) under the cap. Accepts all kinds of 0.5 mm lead.

Made in Japan.
