Disney Tsum Tsum, or simply as Tsum Tsum, is a Japanese Disney franchise based around a stacking game app made by Line. Alongside the game, a toyline has been produced along with a series of animated shorts.

Disney Tsum Tsum Taken from a Japanese word which means “to stack,” this interactive game and line of cute plush Disney characters was introduced in Japan in 2013, and because of its great popularity there was brought to the U.S. in Jul.

The name is derived from the Japanese verb tsumu meaning "to stack", because the rectangle-shaped toys are designed to stack on top of each other, forming a pyramid shape. There are also vinyl versions of them manufactured by Jakks Pacific. Collect 'em! Stack 'em!

And is verified by our Japanese friend Rina it means stack and accumulate. As you can see in many different shops. They are stacked up repeat. After me give it to it guys no more arguing.
