What this is
Lottery-style prize draws tied to the Hidan & Kakuzu arc of NARUTO Shippuden, Ichiban Kuji is Bandai Spirits' popular pull-ticket system where each ¥790 draw wins a guaranteed prize — figures, acrylic stands, towels, or other themed merchandise, with no empty-handed outcomes. Rolling out from October 26, 2026, tickets are available at participating retail locations and the Ichiban Kuji Official Shop online. Stock is finite and sells out fast, so early visits to stores are essential.
Who should go
NARUTO fans and anime merchandise collectors, particularly those chasing arc-specific items featuring Hidan and Kakuzu. Casual shoppers curious about the Ichiban Kuji format will also find the guaranteed-prize mechanic a low-risk entry point into anime collectibles.
Good to know
Tickets can be purchased in-store at participating retailers or through the Ichiban Kuji ONLINE shop — the online shop is the most reliable option for visitors who cannot easily travel to multiple stores. Foreign credit cards are generally accepted on the Ichiban Kuji ONLINE platform, though a Japanese shipping address is required for delivery. Stock is strictly limited and sales end once supplies run out, so there is no fixed end date — early action is essential. Product images shown in promotional materials may differ from actual items received, and release dates can vary by store location. Do not contact individual stores to ask about availability, as the official guidelines explicitly request buyers refrain from doing so.
