A kei car with a very tall roof. The Minica Toppo of 1990 put an upright, high-roofed cabin on the Minica's underpinnings, creating a tiny car with remarkable headroom, and the idea continued as the Toppo BJ from 1998. It was among the earlier examples of the tall-wagon shape that came to dominate Japan's kei class.
