Hoi Poi Capsules, usually just referred to as Capsules, are objects which allow for the shrinking of inorganic objects down to portable size. They are some of the first technologies introduced in the series by Akira Toriyama, appearing in Dragon Ball Chapter 1. An earlier incarnation of capsules were included in Toriyama's Dragon Ball prototype manga, The Adventure of Tongpoo.
General Overview
Hoi Poi Capsules are a key element to the background technology of the series. Each Hoi Poi Capsule is a numbered cylinder with a button on top. Activating the capsule is as easy as clicking the button and tossing it; the contained object will appear with a "Bom!" sound-effect. The expanded capsule can be shrunk again by pushing a button on the expanded object. For safe-keeping, capsules are often kept in a hard case when not in use.
According to Daizenshuu 7, Hoi Poi Capsules were invented by Dr. Brief and led to a "Capsule Revolution" around the world, contributing to the easy distribution of luxury goods and allowing for rapid technological progress.[1] Capsule Corporation started with manufacturing capsules, but quickly expanded into creating vehicles and electronics to go into those capsules. By Age 750, Capsule Corporation no longer controlled the majority of the capsule vehicle market, having lost ground to the Red Ribbon Army (who primarily produced lower-quality military-related capsules) and others.[2]
