About Haikyu!!
Based on the manga by Furudate Haruichi, Haikyu!! follows the intense volleyball careers of high school players. The manga ran in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump from February 2012 for eight and a half years, with cumulative print circulation exceeding 75 million copies. The TV anime series began in 2014 and ran through its fourth season by December 2020, earning passionate fans across Japan and overseas.
The 2024 film Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle depicted the long-awaited showdown between Karasuno and Nekoma, becoming a massive hit with over 20 billion yen worldwide and winning the Japan Academy Prize for Outstanding Animation. A sequel film, Haikyu!! VS The Little Giant, is slated for 2027, and a special anime titled Haikyu!! Where the Monsters Go is also set to air on TV.
Main Figures: Hinata, Kageyama, and Yamaguchi
The top three prizes are figures of Hinata Shouyou, Kageyama Tobio, and Yamaguchi Tadashi, each depicted with a crow on their shoulder and a jacket draped over their back. Hinata’s figure captures his determined gaze toward the future, Kageyama’s sharp eyes and overwhelming presence are faithfully recreated, and Yamaguchi receives his first-ever figure in the Ichiban Kuji lineup. All three boast careful sculpting down to the fingers and fabric folds.
