Baki Dou and Crystal Gym Pop Up in Tokyo and Osaka Through October 22
Crystal Gym is a comedian's fitness brand borrowing a violence-driven anime's visual language, and the merchandise is the point: a popup timed to sell acrylic stands, cards, and a keyholder rather than to promote a new Baki production.

A Baki Dou collaboration with Crystal Gym, produced by comedian Noda Crystal, is running at popup locations at Tokyo Station and in Osaka until October 22. The three comedians Noda Crystal, Aoki Macho, and Shinya appear Baki-fied in illustrations drawn by TMS Entertainment alongside Baki Hanma, Jack Hammer, and Kaoru Hanayama. Goods include acrylic stands at 1,870 yen, big acrylic stands at 4,950 yen, trading cards, and a logo keyholder.
The collaboration puts Noda Crystal, Aoki Macho, and Shinya into the Baki Dou world through illustrations drawn by TMS Entertainment, the studio behind the anime's animation production. All three appear with Baki Hanma, Jack Hammer, and Kaoru Hanayama, shown training and boxing in white, black, and red costumes.
The goods run from display pieces to apparel. Six acrylic stand designs sell for 1,870 yen each, six larger stand designs at 4,950 yen per item are offered through web sales, trading cards come in two-card packs with twelve designs total, and a keyholder shaped like the collaboration logo costs 1,100 yen.
