What this is
Sanrio's golden retriever mascot Pompompurin gets a fresh artistic treatment from illustrator Jun, whose soft, characterful style brings a new dimension to the beloved character across a range of limited merchandise. Running from late November through December 2026, the 'Jun × Pompompurin with Team Pompompurin' mini fair sells plush toys, T-shirts, tote bags, acrylic keychains, and stickers at selected Animate stores and online. Spend ¥2,200 or more and you'll receive one randomly selected illustration card from five designs as a bonus — though you can't choose which one you get.
Who should go
Pompompurin collectors, Sanrio fans, and anyone who follows illustrator Jun's work. This is a merchandise fair rather than a live event, so it suits people who enjoy browsing and shopping at their own pace.
Good to know
Items can be pre-ordered at Animate stores, the Animate Online Shop, and the Movic Online Shop — both online shops accept major credit cards including foreign-issued cards. Pre-orders placed before August 16, 2026 are prioritised; after that, availability depends on store stock. To qualify for the random illustration card bonus, make sure your purchase is made at a participating fair store — not all Animate locations are included, so check the official website for the confirmed store list. The fair runs through the end of December, making it a convenient stop for anime fans already in Japan during the holiday season.
