    The real name of this pen is kei cho right? I'm quite sure it is, just want confirmation from someone who actually knows for sure (*cough* Eso?).

    Go ask on JEB, they would be the ones to know. And probably, not to sure, but maybe a stationary store.

    Keicho and Keityo are correct. We have some different ways to romanize Kana.

    Do you live in Japan or something? You can get them at most of the 7-Elevens in Japan.

    I'm visiting Japan for 2 weeks because I am visiting my sister. SO I might as well pick up some supplies.


    I've checked quite alot of stationary stores but I can't find the keyto sign pens.

    Do you know what 7-Eleven is? 7-Eleven is a chain of convenience stores, not stationary stores.

    Yea I know what 7 eleven is, it's in Australia. Thanks anyways cause I went there and I think I saw it. I bought two and read the hiragana to see 'sign pen'. The brand is pentel as well. Is that right? Is that a Keyto SIgn pen?

  14. Sfsr
    Date: Wed, Feb 20 2008 13:40:48

    Is this what the pen looks like?



    You might also want to pick up some Sailor Gels, Color Twins and Uni-Ball Lakubos while your in Japan.

  15. SpinStar
    Date: Wed, Feb 20 2008 14:03:27

    YEs they do look like that. I've already got like 24 sailor gels and like 16 dr grip tips. Can't find teh colour twins, what are the uni laukubos for?

  16. Sfsr
    Date: Wed, Feb 20 2008 15:12:34

    Lakubo MX/SG and Lakubo MMX etc.

  17. NoRice4U

    Does anyone know the length of the caps and spinnable area when double capped?

  29. tomohiro
    Date: Sun, Apr 27 2008 23:15:39

    the spinning room is almost like the rsvp... and the cap length is about the same as a bic cap.. i don't have my kt right now cause i let someone borrow it so they can practice bak fall sad.gif
    o and also the caps make the spinning room feel very short for me... well in my opinion so i add some tape to the area where the inktube was normally was making the spinning room much larger

  30. Outlander
    Date: Sun, Apr 27 2008 23:22:19

    Spinning space is abour 8.3cm and caps are 4.4cm total. (double capped it is about 17.1cm long total)

    Just wondering...

    So since Pentel makes ColorTwins(correct me if I'm wrong), then Pentel makes Miffy&Melaines and Keityo Sign pens as well? And also the rare Person's markers?

    No, MMs and Keityos are made by different companies.

    Wait, I'm confused. How come Miffy&Melaine, Keityo, and Colortwin caps are interchangeable then?

    Actually Color twins and Keityos are made by Pentel. The caps are interchangeable because they're quite similar. Pens that have a similar sized body can interchange caps. Like bellcolors and comssas, their caps can be interchanged.

    why did pentel make 4 pens that are almost exactly the same?

    keityo, colortwin, persons, pentel color

    keityo, colortwin, persons, pentel color

    To appeal to different audiences...

    the keityo is a regular black doubled sided brush pen
    The colortwin is an art pen with many colors and double sided
    Person's are meant to be a fun kids pen, with Disney characters appearing on some of the
    rarer pens, and the entire barrel and cap are colored the same.
    Pentel Color is an art pen, solid color and single sided. Comes in a large pack.

    I want to order a KT and I'm wondering if the colortwin body the same as the keityo body or at least the same length.
