What is Ichiban Kuji?
In 2003, Banpresto released “Pokémon Ichiban Kuji” at 7-Eleven, and since then, has developed lotteries for a variety of anime and game series, including Gundam and Pokémon. As of April 1, 2018, following the reorganization of the Bandai Namco Group, the business was transferred to BANDAI SPIRITS, and the blue Bandai logo has been used for Ichiban Kuji products since then. The name and logotype of “Ichiban Kuji” are registered trademarks of BANDAI SPIRITS.
Competing services in this market include Taito’s “Taito Kuji Honpo” and Sanrio’s “Sanrio Atarikuji”. For “Sumikko Gurashi” related products, as San-X, the rights holder, also develops “Sumikko Kuji” in stationery and novelty stores, Ichiban Kuji strategically focuses on convenience stores to avoid direct competition.
The lottery targets mainly Japanese anime and game properties, but also includes Disney characters like Mickey Mouse and Marvel, fancy characters like Rilakkuma and Kapibara-san, and even live-action movie properties like “Odoru Daisousasen” (Bayside Shakedown).
A special prize, the “Last One Prize”, is reserved for the person who draws the last ticket. Additionally, various spin-off brands like “Ichiban Kuji Premium” and “Ichiban Kuji V” exist.
