ZOZOTOWN is running a series of licensed anime and manga collaborations and a made-to-order Pokemon 30th anniversary T-shirt push, while an AI pet crowdfunding project on Makuake, tracked alongside the ZOZO retail pushes, reached #1 on the platform's daily ranking and passed 35 million yen in three days.
ZOZOTOWN's current run is built on IP collaborations with defined order windows. The Bungo Stray Dogs collaboration opened orders on September 9 and runs to October 9, with seven product types including T-shirts, zip-up hoodies, cushions, and tote bag and acrylic keychain sets. Illustrator OkiCha drew new pop-style art of six characters for the lineup, and the collaboration items are available exclusively on ZOZOTOWN.
A month earlier, Takeshobo's BL label Qpa brought six of its serializing authors to ZOZOTOWN for a Black x Ribbon collection. That collaboration covers 18 product types, among them long-sleeve T-shirts, pouches with acrylic charms, and goods sets, with original one-page manga scenarios included on select items. Orders opened August 14, 2026.
The Pokemon 30th anniversary push takes a different route. ZOZOTOWN is running made-to-order T-shirts at 3,960 yen, while Pal Group Holdings' 3COINS handles the variety-store end with 62 items from October 10 starting at 330 yen, built around Pikachu, Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastoise. The same anniversary is being sold at both ends of the price range in the same week.
Separately, the AI pet Fuzozo from Fuzozo Co., Ltd. launched on Makuake on May 29, 2026. It reached #1 on Makuake's Today's Ranking on day one, and support passed 35 million yen within three days. The palm-sized plush pet converses, reacts to touch, and develops a personality through daily interaction.
