Anime Nintama Rantarou is collaborating with lifestyle brand SuperGroupies for a new line of everyday essentials. The lineup includes a mountain parka and a 2-way tote bag modeled after Yamada Rikichi, plus a tote bag inspired by Doi Hansuke. All items are designed to bring a subtle ninja flair to daily wear.
Based on Amako Soubei’s ninja gag manga, Nintama Rantarou follows the adventures of Rantarou, Shinbe, and Kirimaru as they train to become elite ninja at the Ninjutsu Academy. The TV anime has been airing since 1993, earning love from a wide range of generations.
The animated film Gekijouban Nintama Rantarou Dokutake Ninja Tai Saikyou no Gunshi, an adaptation of the popular novel, was released on December 20, 2024. It tells a more serious story that begins when Doi-sensei goes missing after heading to face Tagasoredoki ninja Morozumi Sonnamon.
