PLAYFUL KIRBY is set to take its stock online starting from April 10, 2020 at 12:00 (JST).
What is ‘PLAYFUL KIRBY’?
It’s a special collaboration with Nintendo’s internationally beloved video game character Kirby where all merchandise is themed around being “playful.” To date, the collaboration has seen several pop-up shops including at Laforet Harajuku in Tokyo, which we previously covered, as well as HEP in Osaka.
Now, PLAYFUL KIRBY is heading online in Japan for a limited time: from April 10, 2020 at 12:00 until May 10, 2020 at 22:00.
Kirby’s Dream Land x Shogo Sekine
This fun and playful collection of Kirby merch is made in collaboration with popular Japanese illustrator Shogo Sekine who is known for combining fashion items with words and messages in English.
Kirby’s Dream Land x Converse Stars
Both Kirby and popular apparel brand Converse Stars share the same symbol: a star. Both worlds have been fused in this special line-up.
Those who were unable to visit the Tokyo and Osaka pop-up shops now have a chance to get their hands on something from the collection online.

Summer is returning to the Kirby Cafe. Thinking of the warmer months, Chef Kawasaki has created a special menu! As a Waddle Dee, filled with great excitement, wandered through the forest…it saw tons of lush, ripe peaches. “Huh? That pink, round peach reminds me of something…” Then came Kirby, who was looking forward to the summer menu more than anyone else. “Ah, that’s right! The peach looks just like Kirby!” Happy to have solved the riddle, Kirby smiled brightly at Waddle Dee. Gazing at this glorious summer scene with tons of juicy peaches ready to be eaten, he couldn’t help but imagine tons of tasty treats! Peach parfait, sparkling soda, blue jelly sparkling like the ocean…not wanting to forget these ideas, Kirby and Waddle Dee gathered the peaches and began cooking. Please come and enjoy this summer with Kirby and his friends under the dazzling sunshine! ©Nintendo / HAL Laboratory, Inc.Information
