Can you believe it's only been two years since Kenichi emerged from the greenery of Aobayama and found their way into our hearts? To celebrate the anniversary of the Public Relations mascot, Kenichi-themed goods will once again be offered at Tohoku University Co-op shops. The viral Kenichi plushie that sold out within 24 hours of release will be making a return alongside brand new merchandise. The big drop will happen right on their anniversary day: November 18, 2024.
Kenichi Plushie (SOLD OUT)
900円
If you didn't get a hold of the Kenichi plushie the first time around, this big restock is your chance! These compact versions of Kenichi can turn into keychains for maximum portability. You never have to leave home without Kenichi by your side.
Kenichi Acrylic Stand (2D and 3D Kenichi version)
720円
For the first time, Kenichi is now available on an acrylic stand! The stands can also be converted into keychains, making them either a perfect desk accessory or an adorable add-on to any bag. The transparent silhouette is ideal for photos so that it looks like Kenichi is really there with you.
Kumamon x Kenichi masking tape and memo pad
330円, 350円
In a brand new collaboration, Kenichi is teaming up with the lovable Kumamon (should we nickname this Kenichimon or Kumaichi?). These goods are to commemorate the partnership agreement that Tohoku University and Kumamoto University signed on March 29, 2024. Kenichi is sporting their signature bag full of lab equipment and Kumamon is wearing the uniform of the predecessor school of Kumamoto University.
