Hikaru no Go

Hikaru no Go is drawing licensed merchandise and streaming attention around the TV anime's 25th broadcast anniversary, which falls on October 10, 2026. MAYLA is taking reservations for a six-kind ring set tied to the series, and the full 75-episode anime has just run free on ABEMA.

Synthesized from 5 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 16

The Hikaru no Go TV anime is the subject of a licensed jewelry line from MAYLA. Reservations for a six-kind ring set open October 9 at 5:00 PM and close November 9 at 5:00 PM, at 22,000 yen with 600 yen shipping. The designs draw on Hikaru Shindo's hair color and folding fan, a wisteria-centered Fujiwara no Sai motif, Akira Toya's hair and eye colors, Go stones, Go stones as planets, and a cherry blossom pattern. The rings cannot be bought individually. The timing lands on the series' 25th broadcast anniversary, October 10, 2026.

Streaming has moved in parallel. ABEMA ran all 75 episodes free in a marathon from August 13 to 18, 2026, split into three blocks on the Anime SPECIAL Channel, with each episode free for one week after airing. For ABEMA this is the first time the full series has run on the service. The anime adapts the manga by Yumi Hotta and Takeshi Obata.

Elsewhere, RetroCrush is adding a slate of Viz Media anime films and series that includes Hikaru no Go. The same slate lists Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow, Sailor Moon R: The Movie, Bleach the Movie: Hell Verse, Hunter x Hunter: Phantom Rouge, Accel World, both Captain Tsubasa series, and Vampire Knight.

What the coverage establishes is a series held in circulation through free streaming and anniversary-timed merchandise rather than through a new production. The ABEMA run and the MAYLA ring set are the concrete developments; both point to the same 2026 anniversary window.
