Jakas began production in 1954 in Melbourne, Australia, and reached its peak in the 1960's-1980's.
Jakas made many different soft animals, but their teddy bears were the most popular range of soft toys.
Nearly every child in Australia that was born in that era was given a Jakas teddy bear as a present.
