Pocky is an iconic snack consisting of chocolate-coated biscuit sticks, first launched in Japan in 1966 by Ezaki Glico Co., Ltd. The product's name is inspired by the Japanese onomatopoeic word 'pockin', which mimics the sound of the biscuit snapping. Over the decades, it has grown from a local Japanese treat into a global confectionery phenomenon.

While the brand originated in Japan, Pocky is now produced in several countries to meet international demand, including major manufacturing facilities in Thailand, China, and France (under the name Mikado). The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of Ezaki Glico, headquartered in Osaka, Japan. The company continues to operate as a leading global food manufacturer specializing in confectionery, dairy products, and processed foods.
