Pop-Up Shop Announcement for Blue Lock Fans!
Great news for all egoists out there! The TV anime Burūrokku (also known as Blue Lock) is launching a POP UP SHOP titled “Burūrokku KINOKOS to Issho“. The event will kick off in Tokyo from January 9, 2026, followed by Osaka from January 23, 2026.
This shop will feature a lineup of new goods showcasing brand-new illustrations of your favorite characters like Isagi Yoichi and Itoshi Rin, designed to be enjoyed alongside the standalone plushie figure series “KINOKOS”. And for those who can’t make it to the physical stores, all products will be available for purchase on the e-commerce site Anique Shop starting January 9.

What is Blue Lock?
Burūrokku is a soccer manga series written by Kaneshiro Muneyuki and illustrated by Nomura Yuusuke, serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine. The story revolves around the “Blue Lock” project, initiated by the Japan Football Union to cultivate the striker who will lead Japan to victory in the FIFA World Cup. It follows 300 high school forwards from across the country as they engage in a fierce survival battle within the confines of the Blue Lock facility.
With its groundbreaking premise, explosively egoistic characters, and unpredictable plot twists, the series has captivated readers worldwide, standing tall as a new monument in sports manga. Beyond the TV anime that began in 2022, it has expanded into a theatrical anime in 2024, a smartphone game, a stage play, and more. A live-action film is set for release in summer 2026, and a new TV anime series has been greenlit.

These items are meant to be paired with the “KINOKOS” plushie figures for ultimate fan enjoyment.

The lineup includes trading items like Jewel Can Badges, Foil-Stamped Ticket-Style Cards, and Acrylic Keychains. Other goodies up for grabs are Acrylic Stands, Jewel Clear Photo Cards, Postcard Sets (2 pieces), Stickers, Clear Files, Assort Acrylic Collections, T-Shirts (free size), Sports Towels, and Clear Bottles.
