What this is
Ichiban Kuji is Japan's beloved lottery-style merchandise system where you pay a fixed price per draw and are guaranteed to win a prize — no empty-handed losers. This ONE PIECE edition, themed around a love song echoing across a sky island, features a range of collectible prizes tied to the franchise's iconic characters. Each draw costs ¥850 and prizes are tiered, with rarer items assigned to lower-probability slots. It's a retail experience as much as a product — the thrill of the draw is half the point.
Who should go
ONE PIECE fans and Ichiban Kuji collectors, particularly those already familiar with the lottery format. Casual anime shoppers curious about the system will find the ¥850-per-draw price accessible enough to try once.
Good to know
Purchases can be made in-store at Mugiwara Store locations and participating retailers, or online via the Ichiban Kuji ONLINE platform — the online option is particularly useful for visitors who may not be near a participating store. Stock is not guaranteed and sales end once supplies run out, so visiting on or close to the October 29 launch date gives the best selection. Most Ichiban Kuji retailers accept cash; card acceptance varies by store, so carry yen to be safe. Prize items cannot be exchanged or chosen — the draw is random, which is the core mechanic of the format. If you win a large prize figure, note that carrying it home may require extra luggage space or shipping via a service like Yamato Transport's takkyubin.
