Tokyo Banana character collaborations

Overview

Tokyo Banana is launching several themed product collaborations in Japan. The first initiative is the ‘Disney SWEETS COLLECTION by Tokyo Banana,’ which features ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas.’ This collection includes white chocolate-filled nut dough sandwiches and various merchandise such as eco-bags, keychains, and mugs. Pre-sales for this collection are set to begin on September 4, 2026.

Following this, Tokyo Banana announced a collaboration with the Chiikawa franchise. Starting September 1, 2026, the brand will offer exclusive sets including banana pudding cakes, cookie sandwiches, and character-themed eco-bags or tote bags through the official online shop, Paku to Mogu, and at locations such as Tokyo Station and Haneda Airport.

A dedicated Chiikawa collaboration pop-up store, operated by Tokyo Banana World (a Grapestone entity), is scheduled to run from September 17 to October 14, 2026, at the Ikebukuro Event Station South Passage. This event features products such as ‘Chiikawa Cookie Sand Banana Milk Flavor’—consisting of langue de chat cookies with banana milk chocolate—and a renewed ‘Chiikawa Banana Pudding Cake’ featuring characters like Chiikawa, Hachiware, Usagi, Kurimanju, Momonga, and Rakko. Some products include random original character stickers.

The Ikebukuro pop-up will feature two phases of limited-edition merchandise: exclusive tote bags from September 17 to September 30, followed by limited-edition eco-bags from October 1 to October 14.

Additionally, a second Chiikawa collaboration pop-up shop will be held at Tokyo Solamachi from October 1 to October 14, 2026. Located at the ‘Sora no Komachi’ stall in the East Yard 1F area, this event will offer themed confectionery and merchandise, including eco-bags and tote bags featuring original character illustrations.
