It's Japanese but not a one-off.
It was produced in fairly small numbers for a special purpose.

TOYOPET SB

Welcome to AutoPzzles ggongora002.
It is a Toyopet and SB is part of its name but not the whole name.
Cam you enlarge on its name and purpose?

Yes, that's exactly what it is!  Well done.
But I did ask who actually built it and when, so if you'd like to have a stab at those for your point?
Puzzle is locked for you.
