What this is
The SAKAMOTO DAYS Animal Hoodie POP UP STORE 2026 is a limited-run merchandise event tied to the hit TV anime 'SAKAMOTO DAYS,' running in Ikebukuro (Tokyo) and Osaka across summer 2026. The pop-up showcases newly illustrated 'animal hoodie' character visuals featuring fan-favourite characters including Sakamoto Taro, Asakura Shin, Nagumo, Seba Natsuki, and Seba Mafuyu. Exclusive merchandise produced for this event includes hologram can badges, acrylic stands, die-cut stickers, and acrylic mini stands — all featuring original illustrations and GraffArt-style artwork. Shoppers who spend ¥2,200 or more on eligible new products receive one random newly illustrated postcard, adding a collectible incentive to the visit.
Who should go
This event is ideal for fans of the SAKAMOTO DAYS manga and anime who want to get their hands on exclusive, event-only merchandise not available through regular retail channels. Collectors of anime goods — particularly those who love hologram badges, acrylic stands, and limited-edition stickers — will find plenty to chase here. The pop-up format means stock is finite and the postcard bonus adds a gacha-style thrill for completionists. Arrive early in the event run to secure the best selection before popular items sell out.
Good to know
Entry to the pop-up store is free, but merchandise sells quickly at these types of anime events — arriving at or before opening time on the first few days is strongly recommended. The Ikebukuro Sukima Store is a dedicated anime and character goods pop-up space in the Ikebukuro area, well-suited to this type of limited event. Payment policies at pop-up stores in Japan vary; carry cash (yen) as a backup even if cards are accepted. The random postcard bonus (one per ¥2,200 spent on eligible new products) means buying in planned increments is a smart strategy for collectors aiming to complete the set. Foreign visitors should note that merchandise purchased at the event cannot typically be reserved in advance — it is strictly first-come, first-served.
